Target Audience: Grades 2-3
Description:
Welcome to TJ's world...a world full of music, fun and understanding. It's a world where youth feel safe talking about the things that are bothering them and where they learn to work things out.
Teamwork is a program of educational and entertaining video stories and fun activities to help children acquire the skills and attitudes needed to develop personally rewarding, cooperative and caring relationships within a culturally diverse society. The relationships of children with their peers are of primary emphasis. Children will learn to understand and communicate their own feelings and will develop the ability to recognize and respect the points of view of other people. Learning to get along and to get things done as a group is a vital part of a child's education.
