• Role playing with students led to different scenarios that kept students involved.  I loved how they worked out problems.
• I liked the assortment and extension activities/discussion that are offered with the lessons.
• I took the discussion about applying generosity to their lives and extended to social studies.  We discussed how the Indians were generous to the Pilgrims and how we can show generosity during the holidays. This lead to the development of great character traits for students to understand and practice.
• My students learned to work problems out by talking them out.
• The lesson plans offered great opportunities for teamwork.
• The lessons are age appropriate and interesting.  For example, through a discussion about citizenship we’ve been discussing the “pull for the team” concept.
• The lesson plans are well thought out and perhaps too engaging. I had difficulty moving the students past role play.
• The materials are user-friendly and grade appropriate.
