Teacher tip

Share a time you told the truth when it was hard.

How to use it

  • Connect it to your class jobs and routines.
  • Talk about a time you forgot something and how you fixed it.
  • Read scenarios aloud for younger kids and let them answer with a drawing.

Watch for

Home jobs differ a lot between families. Keep examples open so no one feels singled out.

Talk about it
