One of the most important things students can learn in school is how to learn. Studying, Test Taking, and Getting Good Grades falls solidly within the "how to learn" category. Taken from a broad variety of disciplines, it goes beyond basic study skills to address motivation, personal responsibility, diet, exercise, the brain, and numerous other topics. This entirely reproducible student activity book is designed to (1) build a base of understanding and skill development in the broad spectrum of learning, studying, and test-taking; (2) provide opportunities for students to apply this knowledge to their own lives; and (3) provide opportunities to practice and discuss new information and skills so students are better prepared to apply these techniques and skills in all subject areas.

Caring & Capable Kids: Activity Guide for Teaching Kindness, Tolerance, Self Control & Responsibility

Williams, Linda K.

Research indicates that IQ contributes only about 20 percent to the factors that determine success. The other 80 percent of the factors are related to EQ-emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence impacts every area of life-health, learning, behavior and relationships. Teaching children and youth to understand, manage, and productively express their emotional intelligence pays big dividends in all areas of their lives and yours. In response to the growing EQ movement these activity guides have been developed based on the ground-breaking brain and behavioral research on emotional intelligence. The result is a complete emotional literacy program. Each book contains a comprehensive overview of emotional intelligence theory-what it is, why it has become such a hot topic in education, and its scientific basis in brain research, plus concrete suggestions for “schooling” the emotions. Each unit includes a thematic overview, stimulating age-appropriate activities and lively discussion topics.

Helping Kids Manage Grief, Fear, Anger

Akin, Terri

Like adults, kids make choices daily and in many different ways-freely, obligingly, casually, studiously, alertly, habitually, playfully, wisely, impulsively. Occasionally a poor choice leads to a good outcome, but, as anyone who has suffered the consequences of a foolish mistake can attest, good outcomes usually come from wise, thoughtful decision making. This book is based on two beliefs: One, that making wise choices is a teachable, learnable process, and two, that developing the skill (and habit) of wise choice-making automatically reduces the incidence of risky behavior. Focusing on key ingredients like self-esteem and personal strength, the authors provide essential health and safety information and guidelines while teaching vital decision-making skills. Activities are fun and engaging, yet packed with enough important information and skill practice to put even clueless pushovers on a speedy path to wise choice making. Topic areas include: Self-Esteem
OTC Drugs, Smoking and Marijuana Stress Management
Peer and Gang Pressure Decision Making and Problem Solving
Resistance and Refusal Skills Anger Management
Role Models &amp; Support Systems Health &amp; Safety Grades 3-6
