Making Tough Choices

How can we make healthy choices and be thoughtful in our actions? In this social emotional learning activity, your child will reflect on making tough choices and the questions to ask in order to help make healthy choices. Children will watch a video and then envision themselves as President as they brainstorm the choices that could be made to improve the lives of many people. Designed with fourth and fifth grade learners in mind, this engaging activity will help children build important self-awareness, social awareness, mindfulness, and relationship skills.
