"Love that this resource comes with a whole group and individual companion worksheet option. It was very helpful in establishing expectations at the beginning of the kindergarten year."

"I loved using this resource to talk about safety in general. My school has character traits each month, and this month was safety. I wanted to make my lesson more interactive, so I got this resource. My students loved it."

โ€œThis resource is so helpful at the beginning of school when going over rules and routines. It helps answer the question of why we have rules...so we can stay safe. It helps reinforce the rules and how to stay safe. Students are able to take them home and review them with their families. Thank you for such a fantastic resource.โ€
