UPAWS Be Kind Kits
UPAWS Be Kind Kits are designed to allow teachers and youth leaders an in-depth exploration of humane themes with their classrooms and youth groups. Each kit contains a featured book along with lessons and activities, which focus on good moral character, pet ownership, and responsibility.
UPAWS has four UPAWS Be Kind Kits in which the books can be borrowed from UPAWS to teach the lesson plans. Lesson plans are in PDF format and can be downloaded at the links below for each UPAWS Be Kind Kit book.
