Got Character?

Got Character? is a terrific musical and motivational program. Eric begins with the familiar idea, "you are what you eat", and later shows how we also are what we do, say and think. Eric’s message is we are what we choose, and he encourages students to: do the best they can, think positively, have goals and perseverance, eat healthy and exercise, and be kind to others. Got Character? is a great "Character Counts" program, and includes many aspects of living well, including:  good health, bravery, responsibility, treating others with respect, and using your time wisely.

Thinking Outside the box

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX includes many fun songs, interactive segments, puzzles and trick questions that encourage students to think and discover ideas in new ways. Eric teaches creative thinking and problem solving concepts such as brainstorming, expecting the unexpected, perseverance, asking "What if...?" and the idea that there is more than one way to skin a potato (no potatoes will be harmed during this program). Children have different interests and aptitudes, and this program helps them to use their own inspiration and creativity in whatever ways they choose to or need to throughout their lives.
