Rusty the Greyhound: Apologizing, taking responsibility, empathy - Social Skills Behavior Story - SEL

It can be hard to admit when we’ve done something wrong. Rusty breaks Polar’s toy by accident but doesn’t want to own up to it. Polar is not only sad that his toy is broken but also because he doesn’t know who broke it. Rusty sees how upset his friend is and decides to tell the truth, and although Polar is still upset, now they get to choose another toy to play with!

Students will enjoy the colorful pictures while watching Rusty learn good choices and do the right thing.

Rusty is a great idea for my at Risk/SPED preschool students. I am a school social worker and they love him.

I love this! The interactive parts really take this to a new level.  

We love Rusty and all his adventures. And I cant wait to try the boom cards with the kids.

So far, Rusty has been on these adventurers, but many more are coming.
