Character Trait Review
My school district has adopted eight character traits. Each month, we focus on one trait. As I visit students during classroom guidance, we talk about the 
trait of the month. Students take turns sharing examples of how they have shown the character trait in their daily lives.
The school year is coming to a close, and I wanted to review with my second grade friends all we have learned this year about good character. As I mentioned in a previous post, I want to incorporate foldables into some of my classroom guidance lessons. I created this simple foldable to use for the character trait review lesson with second grade. Similar to my preparation for the testing tips foldable, I drew and copied the lines on manila paper ahead of time and pre-folded the paper. The students only needed to cut the seven lines on the left side of the paper to create the eight flaps for this foldable. Using a document camera, I demonstrated where and how far to cut. (I loooove the document camera!)
After cutting the flaps, the students wrote one character trait on each flap. Using the document camera, I displayed each character trait one by one as the students wrote them. The next step was to write a kid friendly definition of each trait on the opposite side of the flap. I shared each one by one for the students to add to their foldables.
Next, the students wrote one sentence for each character trait beginning with “I will…” I asked them to write how they will display each trait going forward. I showed examples of each, but I encouraged them to come up with their own.

This initiative of your school is really appreciative. It is good if we can inculcate some desirable traits in the students rather than just bookish knowledge. May the children grow into better human beings!
