EDUC 602 Unit

For my EDUC 602 class this semester, I designed a unit with the other interns at my PDS to leave at my PDS for their use. We designed a fun unit based around the 7 Habits of Happy Kids. There are 7 total lessons that can be done anytime during the day and require little to no materials. My favorite lesson is for the Synergize habit. The students hold hands in a circle and try to get a hula hoop around the circle without letting go of each others hands. This shows how working together can help get things done. It also gives them the opportunity to work as a whole class and not just with partners. The 7 Habits has really helped my PDS and I will use some of the ideas in my future teaching whether or not my school is a 7 Habits school. This unit helped me collaborate with others and come up with fun ways to teach ambiguous topics to kids.
