Review
David Paris' knowledge on children, education, and creative lessons is apparent in this book. There are 10 units with overarching themes (Community, Respect, Empathy, Mindfulness, Resilience..) that are applicable in any and all classroom. I have been using these activities in almost every class. Some activities are short (and can fit into one period classes) and some take an entire period. It is well worth it, as it creates a classroom culture that cannot be mimicked. Each lesson is thought-out, explained and well-researched. I look forward to many more books!
