This workbook allows you to reflect and gain insight into who you are – Discovering and clarifying your values, identity and sense of belonging. We say “discover” or “clarify” because our values are already a part of us. We just need to dig a little and find them. Knowing and living your values is essentially a map on how to be more authentic (or more yourself).

Your personal values are like a roadmap to live your life by. The destination is your authentic expression. They will provide you with clarity and vision, as well as confidence to stay the distance. Knowing your values means that you can easily get back on track even if you stray off the path.

Everyone has personal values. By acknowledging and living your values you bring an awareness and rhythm to your life, a sense of inner peace and understanding. Aligning yourself with your values can also help you to live an authentic life.

By exploring and narrowing down your personal values through this workbook you are clarifying what is important to you and show a commitment to making those values a priority.

This mini-lesson explores the following:

-Personal Values are important – why?

-I know who I am (worksheet)

-What are values?

-Living an intentional life (core values list)

-Questions about your core values (reflective questions)

-What are your Core Values (worksheet)

-Your Personal Values in Action (worksheet)

-What shapes our values?

-Experiences shape values

-Generational Impacts interview activity (3-part activity)

-Your values Question Summary

-Living Intentionally – Setting Goals

-Creating your personal values statement (craft)

-Inspirational Quote Poster

Middle schoolers dive into reading, writing, and speaking, culminating in the exciting challenge of designing their own hair style, poster and scrapbook. Watch language skills soar in this engaging, hands-on experience!

This MEGA 60-page document contains everything you could possibly need to comfortably, confidently (and with as little effort as humanely possible) lead a long-term unit with your low-vocabulary middle-schoolers needing a high interest BOOST.

Tired of finding documents that are too advanced for your Core French/FSL kids or babyish and full of cartoon-y, childish clipart? This frustration is what gave me an epiphany 3 short years ago and what gave life to my store! Are you, too, losing the buy-in before you even JUMP in? Created with middle school in mind, this unit of activities, games, vocabulary and content, communication prompts, lesson plans, worksheets and templates will get your kids saying "Je me fais couper les cheveux tous les six semaines!" "Mes cheveux sont bouclés et châtains" and "À quelle fréquence laves-tu les cheveux?" in two shakes of a lamb's tail!

My Core French products are high engagement, low-level. This 60-page document has everything you need to effectively engage your students to build the vocabulary needed to become confident enough to create something that will WOW you!

This lesson on honesty and lying is ideal for your elementary school students. Of course, at times, our children tell lies on purpose. But, sometimes, children do not realize they are lying because they have not been taught the differences between the various types of lies. Teach all about the types of lying and why it can be harmful with this unique and engaging activity.  

“Types of Lies Town” is an interactive activity used to introduce students to the six types of lies. This activity allows children a safe and structured way to learn about the negative consequences of lying and a chance to reflect on their own behaviors and habits. 

Students will “take a tour” of the town and visit six different streets to learn the definitions, stories, and examples of the various types of lies.

This Resource Includes:

• Map
• Town Chart
• Six Types of Lies Posters and/or Mini Book of Stories/Examples
• Thirty-Six Situation Cards 
• Six Labels

Use the included materials to help you guide the discussion with children about lying. Help students to self-reflect on their own behaviors and the consequences of their actions. 

Increase student understanding of honest and dishonest behaviors as they tour Types of Lies Town.  

This resource includes information about the six following types of lies:

1. Compulsive Lies

2. Half-Truths

3. Exaggeration

4. Bold-Faced Lies

5. White Lies

6. Plagiarizing
