Curiosity!
This week our students will be learning about the character trait of Curiosity!
What does curiosity mean? You like exploration and discovery. You ask lots of questions because you want to learn more about anything and everything.
The character trait of Curiosity falls within the virtue of Wisdom and Knowledge. Parent virtue: Wisdom and Knowledge. Strengths of wisdom and knowledge are cognitive strengths related to the acquisition and use of information. Strengths comprised in this virtue are creativity, curiosity, open-mindedness, love of learning and perspective.
Albert Einstein once said, "The important thing is not to stop questions. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." Host a conversation with your child this week about what this might mean.
Here is also a great video to explore Curiosity.
