"Unlock the Treasure in Every Child" - October 29, 2018
Creativity!
This week our students will learn more about the character strength of Creativity!
What is creativity?
Creative people can look at the world in original ways. They are open to new experiences, and have an imaginative and independent thought process. They generate lots of different ideas and can pursue them with energy and enthusiasm. Creativity is a process that takes
courage. Anytime you share your original ideas with the world, you risk being criticized or even ostracized.
The parent virtue for integrity is Wisdom and Knowledge. Strengths of wisdom and knowledge are cognitive strengths related to acquiring and using information. This virtue includes creativity, curiosity, open-mindedness, love of learning and perspective.
Please use these quotes and discuss with your child what they learn about Perspective this week.
"Creativity takes courage." ~Henri Matisse
"I line nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient to living." ~Dr. Seuss
