When we finish we will talk about the long term consequences of honesty being the sweetest reward of all. We will then bring in ice cream for all the children.

I made the Banana Split from Construction paper and kept it simple. We'll be following the outline pretty closely. I attached the scenarios we adapted from CTR A Lesson 26, the sharing time outline, and a few other places.  I hope this helps someone!"
