Our decisions matter!
Lesson 1
Conflicts and Jealousy
It is very easy to get jealous of someone. It is also easy to act on this jealousy and create a conflict with a peer. We are going to watch a video today which shows one of these conflicts.
TOY STORY (1995) Scene: "I am Buzz Lightyear."
What could Woody, Buzz, and Woody's friends have done instead?
Based on the video, how do you think these characters could have handled the situations differently? You will pick a character card and a positive choice you could have made as that character. These will all be posted on our Toy Story poster to display in the classroom.
