- In Believe In Yourself, Amber Class find ways to boost self-confidence—except Kayden who’s watching a very large beetle climbing into Mrs. Adisa’s bag and they end with the Confidence Song.
- In Sort It Out! ,the children discover ways in which opposite wishes can be reconciled and how arguments need not be arguments at all.
- In Feeling Good, Amber Class find out what it means to feel good about themselves—because everyone is special and has their own qualities.
