What teachers are saying:

“Thank you, the character activity kit and writing lesson fit right into my curriculum and it was flexible which allowed me to use it in multiple ways. I was able to use it as a respect and kindness character ed. lesson with my small groups and as an English lesson with my whole class.“

- Mrs. Jessica, 4th GRADE TEACHER

“I enjoyed using your character education kits they're kid-friendly, fun, and as a bonus, they coincided with our learning standards. Thank you.“

- Ms. Terry, 4th Grade Teacher

“I found there was more to your activity kits than what I paid for. My students learned valuable life-skilled lessons such as: how to accurately address an envelope and write a letter using the common elements - greeting, body and salutation. It amazed me to discover how many students at varying ages from 1st thru 9th grade didn't know how to write or address an envelope.“

- Mrs. Barbara, Elementary & Middle School Teacher

“This was a great lesson to help reinforce the character values of respect and caring. It was comforting and rewarding to see our students engaged in behaviors of showing respect. My fellow teachers loved receiving the greeting cards and appreciation letters from students.“

- Ms. Tobi, 4th Grade Teacher
