My Project

I am the school counselor at a K-5 elementary school and we recently had the opportunity to host the NED Show (through their amazing pay-it-forward program). The NED Show sends positive messages about Never giving up, Encouraging others, and Doing your best. The presenter used magic tricks, yo-yo tricks, and humor to teach our kiddos about perseverance when things get challenging. Our kids LOVED the show!

These books are part of the additional lessons the NED show provides, and I would LOVE to use them with my 1st grade learners next year!

There are so many great messages and these topics provide fantastic foundational skills for academic and social-emotional success!
