Character Education Program
Character education is the process of learning common values, beliefs and behaviors that are important for people to have as responsible citizens. This is especially important to teach during elementary years when children are gaining an understanding of what morals are. Students will learn about growth mindset, ethical decision-making, community support, as well as curiosity and intellectual virtues. These life skills are lessons our students will take with them for the rest of their lives.
This program is based off of the six pillars of character which include trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. At the beginning of each month, the character education trait being emphasized will be highlighted in various ways. Our monthly theme is discussed at the beginning of each month, and we will start our day by listening to a daily positive. Daily positives are presented by myself, students, and teachers, depending on the activity of the month.
Additionally, teachers will infuse the character theme of the month into their curriculum. Ms. Soluri and Mrs. Tuero will implement various activities throughout the school year. Character education themes will incorporate lessons presented to each class and/or student activities. We will also have contests and awards that will have our students showcase their knowledge and success in possessing these character traits. We acknowledge that this is not a task that educators can do alone. We are asking that you support and reinforce the character trait of the month at home.
