Working with grades K through 3

Young children may not understand how to set and achieve goals.  Try the Terrific Kids with a twist concept with young students.  This concept can also be used for older students.

Progress tracking

Visually note each accomplishment using one or more of these tracking systems. Print and distribute Terrific Kids punch cards to students participating in the program. Every time a student learns a character trait punch a hole next to that character trait. It's a fun way of tracking progress.
