See Kelso’s Choice in Action! Short, true-to-life vignettes help students see how kids just like them use Kelso’s Choices to solve everyday problems. The video is presented in two separate sections: Grades K-3 hosted by Kelso himself using Kelso’s Choice Wheel. Grades 4-5 hosted by a young teen using the brand new K.C.’s Wheel – a more developmentally appropriate wheel for pre-teens. Each section presents five different opportunities for kids to see KELSO IN ACTION.
