Students will identify what is important to them in a friendship and/or classmate and will evaluate if they are a good friend to others. This lesson is also applicable to sibling relationships. Students will leave class with a book they created, stating what they feel a confident friend is.

I taught this Kindness and Confidence Friendship class as a mentor to elementary school students for 13 years. Prior to that I was a Financial Advisor, motivating and managing clients, for 25 years. I am skilled at inclusion and work hard to inspire young people to know and appreciate themselves. I motive others into action, through thoughtful, meaningful conversations and art projects. I love to teach. Please see parent reviews and project pictures on my YET, I AM and Friendship class offering pages.
