Detailed Teacher NotesI love including Character Education in my classroom and find it leads to better classroom behavior, while promoting a safe, accepting classroom atmosphere. Not only will you see the benefits in your classroom though, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are teaching to the heart, as well as to the head. Helping our students grow socially and emotionally can reap lifelong benefits.

Why you’ll love this resource:

• These materials are a great addition to Morning Meetings.
• It comes in a print and digital format, which makes it perfect for classroom or homeschooling use!
• Students enjoy the social-emotional activities.
• No more guesswork! Everything is clearly organized and explained in the Teacher Notes.
• It may be used at any time during the year. For example, I like to start with Respect, do Kindness in October, Gratitude in November, and Giving in December.
• Directly teaching character traits makes a huge difference in the behavior of your students.

Also, while each character trait kit is a single license purchase, you might want to share this resource with your principal to see if he/she would like to purchase an additional license for each 2nd – 5th grade teacher (K – 1 are free with school purchases because many of the materials are too advanced for these ages). It is so much more powerful if the whole school is teaching the same character traits and especially if they are teaching them at the same time. I have used these materials for many years with my classes and feel confident that you’ll enjoy using them too.

Thanks so very much!
