Before and After School Character
Every Monday, each class reads a book that features a character trait. The class discusses the character trait, why it is important, and how they can use the trait at home, school, and everyday life. The teachers support and encourage children as they engage in behavior that demonstrates the character trait. Along with a weekly discussion, some stories are also paired with an activity or craft. Once a month, every class also participates in team building to promote cooperation with a variety of games.
