Character Counts
I believe that it is vital to teach the whole child, emotional, social and academic. I strive to provide children with the necessary building blocks to gain self awareness and self regulation.We will be using SANFORD HARMONY and BOOSTERTHON Programs to learn about character, empathy, impulse control and anger management. We will be using the CHARACTER COUNTS Program to teach the six pillars of Character: responsibility, respect, trustworthiness, caring, fairness, and citizenship. We use elements of RESPONSIVE CLASSROOM like morning meeting, positive time-out, academic choice, and closing circle to reinforce and practice character traits. We practice MINDFULNESS through quick activities that focus our attention and calm our bodies. We are learning to have a GROWTH MINDSET that will ensure our future success in school. Flexible seating is being used to allow children to incorporate movement into regular classroom work.
