Character Traits

When we work on fourth grade learning, we do not talk about a subject one time then move on. Our learning has several layers. We try to learn from various perspectives and in ways that appeal to a variety of learning styles. Take character traits for example.

First, we talked about character traits and made character trait t-shirts, each student selecting one trait to focus on, illustrate, and define in three different ways. We took notes on character traits and motivations. We read about character traits. This week, we looked at character traits and our ten best traits about ourselves. It is a work in progress, we are still working on our posters. Later this week, we will practice character traits as we read various texts. We will take a new style of notes in our Reading Response Journals during Flex group. We will work on this skill ALL YEAR LONG! It matters.

Here are some images from our Character Traits Posters. We can't wait for you to see them on our lockers!

We're FALLING for Good Characters!!
