Students today are pressured every day from peers. Everyone has something to offer, if he or she could just look within, recognize his or her strengths, and use them as springboards for exciting opportunities!
But self-acceptance is not an easy lesson to learn, and it's an even more difficult lesson to teach. Luckily, author and School Counselor Bryan Smith has developed this fantastic activity guide, designed to accompany the Is There an App for That? storybook. Twenty activities for educators to use with their K through 5th grade students are included. The lessons are designed to teach and reinforce the skill of self-acceptance, while learning to differentiate between making positive changes that will help you grow versus responding to negative peer pressure and changing just to try to fit in.
Several activities can be combined to support your common core learning initiatives, and are identified throughout. School counselors and educators who work with K through 5 students will benefit from the included activities with step-by-step instructions, lists of materials, worksheets, and answer keys. The CD includes ready-to-print forms and handouts. 40 pgs.
