Instructional Ideas

• The journal and many of the worksheets are used in multiple sessions; have class members create a special folder for these materials and have them bring this folder to each class session

Classroom Considerations

• The culminating session in a series of 10 resources focusing on Social, Physical, Emotional, Cognitive and Spiritual (SPECS) health
• The labeling of the handouts may prove confusing since they have both a resource number and an activity number

Pros

• The 12-page packet includes teacher resources, activities, directions, links to related materials, and journal prompts

Cons

• None
