Learn all about behavior with Rusty and take your students on a journey of discovery so that, just like their lovable-greyhound friend, they too can learn what it means to be kind and respectful – even when it feels a little bit hard!
Rusty is here to give both you and your students a helping hand in some of the most important lessons to learn during childhood.
What Rusty learns about behavior
Rusty wasn’t born a perfect student and that’s what makes him so lovable – children can actually relate to him!
During his time at school, Rusty learns how to:
- Follow directions
- Wait
- Be a good sport
- Work as part of a team
When Rusty finds situations difficult he looks to his teachers and Mr. Tom for guidance, they are always there to guide him in the best way to move forward or how to behave next time he’s faced with a similar situation.
