We are deep into our second six weeks of the Pillars of Character, this is the pillar of RESPECT. Here are some of the things that teachers will be looking for:

• Treat others with respect and follow the Golden Rule.
• Be accepting of differences.
• Use good manners, not bad language.
• Be considerate of the feelings of others.
• Don’t threaten, hit or hurt anyone.
• Deal peacefully with anger, insults, and disagreements.

Evenings and weekends are beautiful this time of year! Here is a way to tie a family walk into skills for the classroom!

Pre-K and Kinder: Go on a walk with kids and collect things along the way (rocks, leaves, sticks, flowers) and have them sort items when they get home by colors or like objects.

Lower Elementary: Go on a walk with kids and collect things along the way (rocks, leaves, sticks, flowers) come up with a list of describing words (adjectives) for the objects (nouns) that they found. How many words can they come up with?

Upper Elementary: Go on a walk with kids and have them use their five senses to tell a story for the family. Oral storytelling can build vocabulary and improves critical thinking skills!

You can also find great read stories on YouTube. Here are a few for fall!
