This set of activities is designed to help students: better understand the concept of respect, practice identifying what respect looks like in various situations, and reflect and share on their own opinions and experiences with respect. The ultimate goal is to help develop more respectful students and a more respectful classroom and school community by choosing to treat one another respectfully as fellow human beings! *Now includes options for virtual learning/distance learning including Google Slides (TM)

Resource Rationale
Respect is one of the most important elements of any environment or community but it can be subjective. This resource helps students understand respect and come to a common understanding of it by providing numerous examples and differentiated opportunities to practice their understanding independently or in small groups. The puzzles and sorting cards provide for a collaborative and hands-on/tactile approach while the worksheets allow for independent thinking and reflection.
