Summary: Fun!
Comment: What a fresh and fun book this is! If you are looking for quick activities (fifteen to twenty minute periods) that will help your elementary students develop self-esteem, a cooperative attitude, life skills, as well as study and problem-solving skills, this is the book for you.
Divided into five sections, each one is filled with themes such as "Setting Goals," "Showing My Art and Soul," and "What's Important to Me." Each of the 52 themes begins with a pithy quote, and then describes five activities, each designed to last approximately fifteen or so minutes. (Although you could certainly extend the activity if you wish.) Included also are "Think About It, Talk About It" discussion starters as well as an affirmations. The author has thoughtfully included resources for students as well as teachers for each theme.
There are five categories of activities: writing, drawing, creative, music and movement, and activities that emphasize reaching out to others. (The various learning styles are well represented here.) The activities are imaginative, clever and easily implemented. Also included are 56 reproducibles. (The book cover has a lay-flat binding so that copying will not be difficult.)
Jump Starters is aptly titled. With a minimum of fuss, you can have your students engaged in meaningful and fun activities each day of the school year. This one is a definite "keeper."

Summary: Great book of activities for the teacher or parent
Comment: As a former elementary school teacher, mother of three children, scout leader and very involved parent at home and school I treasure my copy of Jump Starters! The lessons and activities are fun,meaningful and very easy to follow. I purchased a copy for each of my children's teachers as an end of the year gift. They were thrilled! This book truly encourages a child to think positively and to better understand and appreciate themselves and others.

These help develop valuable lessons for our children while making the entire learning experience fun. You will always find further resources if needed along with stimulating quotes along the way. Geared for grades 3-6.
