Welcome to the Elementary School Student Connection

Connect with Kids Elementary Resources includes 55 video segments focused on helping young students to develop the character traits and life skills that will help them make healthy choices and avoid high-risk behaviors. The Connect with Kids team suggests the Character and Life Skills Programs as a starting point.  The series includes 24 videos that address individual life skills as well as specific life skills detailed in the chart below. Each video begins as students use their own words to define the concept; a real-life video story unfolds to describe the challenge. Accompanying lesson plans and vocabulary builders align with Language Arts, Social Studies and Health education standards. The Elementary Channel also includes videos segments focused on bullying prevention, improving achievement, improving health and wellness and video shortcuts providing the latest research on these issues.
