Character Education Classroom Pack

Begin to build a community of children who practice positive character traits and recognize the impact of these traits in their own lives as well as the lives of others. Incorporate the fun activities in the Character Education Resource Guide into your everyday classroom curriculum by integrating lessons about character traits with academic subjects. Use the 12 reproducible mini-books (one for each character trait) to teach children the importance of character-building values while promoting beginning reading skills and strategies.

The activities in this resource will help children learn to:

• show acceptance for people who are different from them
• demonstrate compassion and caring for others
• practice cooperation when working with classmates
• use courage to make decisions their peers may not agree with
• express their friendship to others
• exhibit good judgment when making choices
• identify times they have demonstrated honesty
• use perseverance to achieve a goal
• show respect for classmates by following game rules
• act responsibly in class and at home
• recognize actions that demonstrate self-control

The Character Education Resource Guide will help prepare the children in your classroom for a lifetime of "good values." You will be amazed at the differences you begin to notice as you incorporate character education into your daily teaching!
