My Students

My students are fun, energetic, happy, and eager learners from different countries around the world. Each student adds value to our school with their different dynamics!

Our students are kind, considerate, responsible, respectful, engaged, and eager to become fluent readers!

We are in need of some character education stories that help promote caring, cooperation, patience, responsibility, and thoughtfulness.

Children need little lessons to help teach characteristics or traits that we want to instill in students. This is a wonderful way to help teach them through good literature!

My Project

Each month we focus on different traits that we want to instill in children when they are younger.

I want to teach my students about being caring, cooperative, patient, responsible, and thoughtful children.

I can make this happen with sharing these books and activities that will go along with the different books.

We want to make the world a better place and I believe that we can contribute to our world by focusing on different traits each month. I want to be able to have these books on hand to have the students remember what they have learned about with the different character traits in these books.
