character ed
By Cathy

Newspaper in Education has great resources for character ed that you can do through out the year. Call your newspaper and see if they have NIE. Its also free resources you can use for other activities. I like to read a
poem or information on a specific famous person that has shown one of these attributes. At one school I taught in the children had these booklets that had each pillar. Each week they would write in it like a journal and put a person and how that person showed ones of these characteristics. It could be themselves, a teacher, parent, someone on tV. They turned these in each week. For

each pillar they got a colored stone to put in a jar each color represented a pillar. You could use anything, even cotton balls. I think they made something with the stones like a mosaic. You could make a cloud with the cotton balls and make a BB "I have a Dream..." MLK encompasses all the pillars and is a great opportunity to have a mini unit on Great Americans
