Character Trait: HONESTY
Students who are honest are:
...truthful
...sincere
...trustworthy
...capable of admitting mistakes
...courageous
Teach the importance of honesty at home by:
...keeping promises
...telling the truth
...being trustworthy
...discussing how important the truth is, even if it can get you in trouble
Remember:
Telling a lie often leads to telling more lies.
Being honest is telling the truth all the time.
Being honest may result in unpleasant consequences at the time, but in the long run, honesty is always good for us.
Being honest after we have done something wrong takes courage.
