Character Education

Our class is having a great first week of school!  We have illustrated pictures, read stories, explored items in the classroom, and played games.  I am so pleased to have such a wonderful group of students!  They are proving to be excellent listeners and very creative.  I wanted to share with you a video I made regarding my behavior management system in the classroom.  Instead of using a typical color chart, or "clip chart," our class is learning how to be good citizens by embracing 7 character traits: perseverance, trustworthiness, respect, caring, fairness, citizenship, and responsibility.  Each day your student will come home with the number of tickets earned for each character trait.  So far we have discussed responsibility, respect, and fairness. Over the next week we will learn the rest.  Please take a look at the video to see how this system works in our classroom.  Be sure to let me know if you have any questions, and please excuse my presentation skills!  I enjoy  teaching children, not adults. :)
