SUMMARY: In conclusion, the series will produce appropriate, useful and high interest materials to help students, parents and teachers understand of the entire community in the development of positive citizenship. Gemstones have been valued as a symbol for each month. Consequently, these stones are also known as birthstones. Most people hold special emotions about their birth month, a value in itself. Therefore, the use of gemstones to teach the values of each stone give each child's birth month a symbolic value for life experiences. Dart's series begins with the Peridot, the gemstone for August and the traditional month to begin the academic school year. The Peridot is used as a vehicle to convey the values for back-to-school. The series of Dart's gemstones will teach about gems in the context of values for life success.
