Character Strong!
Next week we will begin our first Character Strong activities! The CS Rio TV message will air on Monday. The CharacterStrong curriculum is built around “Eight Essential” character traits and social-emotional skills that have been proven to help students be productive, empathetic, successful people. The Eight Essentials are: Patience, Kindness, Humility, Respect, Selflessness, Forgiveness, Honesty and Commitment.
We all will be working together to build a kinder school culture. Twice a month, students will be given a new challenge (CharacterDare) that helps them to practice one of the eight character traits in their daily lives. The following week they are given an opportunity to reflect on their experience, either with trying the Dare or by sharing what they think about that week’s CharacterDare. Thank you to Ron who will be helping coordinate our monthly activities.
Thank you for participating in this amazing program! ♥ Audrey
