THE HOOT HOOT WAY

Intro Starter Kit

A gentle, story-led way to bring belonging into your classroom.

If your room feels busy, wobbly, or not quite settled yet…

This is for you.

The Intro Starter Kit is a relationship-first, story-led resource designed to help children feel safe, connected and ready to learn, without adding more lesson plans to your plate.

No heavy implementation.
No behaviour charts.
No complicated frameworks.

Just stories, shared language and gentle guidance.

What Makes This Different?

The Hoot Hoot Way does not replace your expertise.

It supports it.

Instead of teaching belonging as a “topic”, this kit builds it through:

• Warm, stand-alone stories
• Familiar characters children return to
• Calm, shared language
• Small, manageable moments of connection

It helps you create a classroom culture that feels safe, kind and steady.

A Note From Rebecca and Janine

We created The Hoot Hoot Way after years of working alongside children and educators who needed language that felt gentle, steady and safe.

This kit is not about fixing children.

It’s about helping them feel like they belong.

And when children feel like they belong, everything else becomes easier.

What makes this different from other wellbeing programs?

The Hoot Hoot Way is not behaviour-driven.

It is story-driven.

Children build emotional language through characters they return to, not through rules or charts.
