We're gearing up for Red Ribbon Week & National Character Counts! Week October 21st through the 26th and I can't wait. A few years back, we used Color The World With Character as our theme. We got parents involved by asking them how their child colors the world with character; click {here} to download the handout that we sent home and {here} to see the version we posted at the Character Counts! website.
Here are a few examples of our many awesome responses.
Some parents used real photographs, and those were adorable, too. Students shared them with their classmates in morning meetings.
Each teacher sent a few for this cafeteria display;
the rest were posted in the classrooms.
How do you encourage children to
color the world with character?
Thank you Barbara for sharing more of your ideas and wisdom with us.
