MONTHLY CHARACTER
ALL YEAR – Courage & Kindness
JANUARY - Forgiveness & Humility
FEBRUARY – Perseverance & Honesty
Teachers will note which character strengths were discussed each week so you may continue those conversations at home. CSP classes will also implement Peer Mentoring, i.e. pairing older and younger classes to engage in character discussions and activities together. Mentoring across grade levels is a part of the Board initiative for enriching TCA’s Character Education program. |
