How will we learn about Toolbox and our tools?
We will teach you about the tools each month when we come in for our lesson. Some months you will learn two tools at the same time.
K-3- You will all color your own toolboxes and be able to put your tools in your toolbox as you learn them.
4-5- You will each get a journal that you will use throughout the year to learn about your tools.
Think of your toolbox like the outside of us- your body and personality. The tools represent the qualities inside you that give you strength and understanding to deal with problems as they come up.
