Just a very quick post today (since I blogged once already
this week already) about my Character Education system.
- Cooperation
- Assertion
- Responsibility
- Empathy
- Self Control
At the start of each month we talk about what the word means
and share examples of how we, or someone we know, has exhibited that behavior. At the end of each week we debrief about who we
have seen exhibiting this behavior. And
for anyone who is not exhibiting this behavior (or exhibiting behaviors to the
contrary) I give them a checklist of specific ways they can improve for the
following week.
In the past I had a small poster with the CARES acronym but
this year I wanted to make it stand out more.
To make my character education banner, I coordinated the design that I used
for the table numbers and birthday
pencils. The fonts I used are all
free fonts, and the blue backgrounds are simply paper plates! I saved a lot of ink using the plates instead
of printing out bunting, which I originally planned to do (I already had lots
of plates from when I'd found them on sale).
They really stand out despite being really high up, but they
coordinate with the colors and dots in my room.
How do you display your character development expectations?
That looks really good! The plates are perfect. Thanks for sharing, Heather
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather :) I knew I'd find a great use for these plates sooner or later. Ink is so expensive; this worked out well. :)
