Overview
The AIM Buddy Project is a supplemental social, emotional, and character development curriculum that uses interactive media, the characters from the PBS series ARTHUR, and cross-grade buddy pairs. Students partner with a buddy to work on interactive comics and games that focus on five important topics –empathy, honesty, forgiveness, generosity, and learning from others. As buddy pairs engage with the ARTHUR characters they talk about and reflect on things like feelings, perspective-taking, and problem-solving.

- Encourage positive cross-grade peer relationships (grades 1 and 4; 2 and 5), cross- grade teacher relationships, and school-wide relationships.
- Help students build skills and attitudes that enable them to think more critically and be more accountable for their actions and relations with others.
