This is the first Study & Life Skills course in semester four of (ages 5-6).  Semester 4 is the final Semester for Step 1, designed for ages 5-6, and for students who are developing literacy.

The student investigates the idea of "fair". What is it? How does it work? Then the student looks at many areas of his own life in a fun, hands-on manner. Is he fair to others? To his family? Is he fair to pets? To other living things? Is he fair in his treatment of other people's things? Is he fair in how he handles the planet? His own body? Are all these things fair to him?  Is he fair to himself?

In 27 lessons, 9-10 weeks of study, the golden rule and its hands-on meaning in life is explored. A sometimes difficult concept is made clear, fun and personal, and a set of understandings are provided that will help shape the student's young life and world and make it more tolerable.
