Reflect and Build on Your Character - FREEBIE

Tuesday, May 26, 2015

Welcome!
So happy to have you pop in!

Teaching positive character traits is crucial. I know that these skills are easily infused into our daily classroom activities, but from time to time, I like to make sure that my students are provided with an opportunity to reflect on their own personal traits. This way, they are able to reflect on and determine in what areas they are excelling in and in what areas they still need to improve on.

Depending on the theme or season, I just copy these Build and Reflect on Character worksheets and add them to our centres.

With the arrival of warm weather, comes the arrival of the T-shirt season. So, I was inspired to create a Reflection sheet with T-shirts. Click here for your copy.

Students color in the T-shirts as they reflect on each character trait. Upon completion, students are then able to see as to which traits they still need to focus on. They are also able to see as to which traits they are excelling in.

Here is a completed reflection sheet.

note: Each students' reflection sheet will vary.

I'd love to hear as to how you incorporate character traits in your classroom.

Summer Link-Up - My Summer Goals!

Monday, May 25, 2015

Well, hello there!
Glad to have you stop by!

I'm linking up with Monica over at I Heart Grade 3 for her Weekly Summer Link-Up!

This week's topic focuses on My Goals for the Summer.

Hmmm! My goals for the summer tend to be growing by the minute. So, I'll choose my top four goals from my ever growing list of things to do.

I would like to take up some form of exercise. So, the simplest form of exercise for me would be to walk. I am hoping that I can start off with a 20 minute walk each night and increase to 45 minutes of walk by the end of summer. Would you like to join in? We can share our walking goals with one another.

I always have good intentions to blog, but life just gets in the way. So, I am hoping that by joining Monica's weekly linky party, I will be able to blog a wee bit more. Thank you Monica for hosting a great linky party!

Over the summer, I hope to be able to create and add a few more products to my Teachers Pay Teachers store. I have a growing list of things to create, so I am excited in getting started!

I am also hoping that I might be able to squeeze in some pleasure reading over the summer. One of the books that I am hoping to read is the book that my son is now reading in his grade 11 English class. The book that they are reading in class is The Orenda by Josheph Boyden . My son recommends this books, so I am hoping that I will be able to find some down time in order to be able to squeeze in a good read.
