Description

Any teacher with students who squabble when they need to share or who have trouble working on group assignments can use the creative ideas in this book to bring more cooperation and caring to the classroom. Activities and games in this book help students learn and use steps from Teamwork Isn't My Thing, and I Don't Like to Share! These social skills are promoted in Well-Managed Schools as part of the Boys Town Education Model. Former teacher and school counselor Julia Cook has created entertaining games and engaging activities, using everything from jigsaw puzzles and beach balls to spaghetti and marshmallows. Students in grades K-6 learn and practice the social skills of working as a team and sharing. This guide offers everything teachers need: instructions, lists of materials when needed, activity sheets, homework ideas, and suggestions on variations and extensions. Reproducible activity sheets and praise coupons (in full color!) are included on the enclosed CD.
