Developing Leaders in the Third Grade

The students created a bullentin board that featured a photo of each student. Each student recorded adjectives that explained his/her  best qualities which contribute to being a good leader.

Character education is an important part of our curriculum.  My mission is to create a classroom environment where kindness, respect and thoughtfulness prevail. Students are encouraged to do kind acts for others.  The book, Have You Filled a Bucket Today?, gives many colorful examples of how to fill a bucket that kids can relate to.  Each time someone does a good deed the students comment on it.  Student certificates are given for being a bucket filler.
