Changing the World, One Month at a Time

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Young scholars participate in kindness and good citizenship activities in this lesson plan. Each month of the school year, they are assigned a different activity. For example, in August the theme is "Getting to Know You!" The students hand out as many "good thought messages" as possible.
