Fábulas de Esopo Aventuras semanales Habilidades para la vida con la tía Sam

AESOP FABLES
What's a Virtue? A Fable? Who was Aesop? What's a Moral? With Aunt Sam and her Felt Friends we will learn about Life Lessons through the Foolish and Wise Animals of Aesop's Fables. Each week we will explore a different Virtue along with a Habit. We will discuss the Virtue/Habits through object lessons, questions, and optional worksheets.   Depending on the class, students may engage in break-out rooms where the students can apply the Virtue/Habit to solve challenges.  There will be role-plays about the Virtue, where basic reading is encouraged (if the learner is comfortable.) There will be optional opportunities to set goals focusing on the Virtue/Habit of the Week. Worksheets will be added to the class each Monday morning (Pacific Time) for the week's Virtue.
