Choices! Children on the average make 3,000 choices a day. Choices are everywhere, all up in our faces all day long! So what are they and how do we make them...Good? Let's "choose" to get going....

We will define "Choices." Students will learn how to make good choices while being aware of the consequences of those choices. I will share an entertaining video about making choices, and we will discuss the consequences of making bad choices and good choices. Students will have the opportunity to share a bad choice as well as a good choice they have made in the past week and the consequences; good and bad of those choices. We will discuss how making good choices makes us better leaders for others to follow. 

Students will understand that mistakes sometimes have to be made as long as we learn and become better from those mistakes. We will discuss that the techniques of making thoughtful choices are better than the point, pick, and random impulsive, do nothing, or being a follower choices and why. Students will understand that choices will always be made and no choice is small or insignificant.  We will play a fun game of choices "Would You Rather."

This lesson is a wonderful building block for developing strong character traits. The choices we make "Make Us" and are so important!

My teaching style is interactive, laid back but structured, and fun where conversation is encouraged. I feel students learn best in an environment that is open and comfortable, where they are able to express and be themselves. I do not discriminate on race, creed, culture, religion or abilities. I feel each student has unique gifts and talents. It is an honor to be able to teach this lesson and feel it is vital for students to understand this important life skill at such a young age. 

I look so forward to having your student in class.
