Self-Efficacy, Green Exercise, & 5th Grade Girls
An 8-week small group action plan for 5th grade girls is the focus of this presentation. The group divides its time between a psycho-educational component and green exercise. Research supporting the use and importance of green exercise is presented, as well as ways to increase a student's level of self-efficacy. The psycho-educational aspect of each week's lesson was created with research from the National Association of School Psychologists website and Fishful Thinking partnership.

A Recipe for Friendship Grades 1-2
Students will discuss and learn friendship skills, such as initiating play and ways to spend time with peers. I originally created this lesson for a girls group. The girls were selected to be in this group to boost their confidence and give them the tools to interact with peers in social situations. The book Enemy Pie by Derek Munson is always a favorite for students and it is a great resource to help teach friendship and social skills to preschoolers and elementary school students.
