Character Trait of the Month @ PPP

Character Trait of the Month
Character Education Trait
Our Character trait word for the month of February is EQUALITY/FAIRNESS. This month we will be working on understanding the concept of compassion as it relates to fairness, as well as discussing why it is important and how it could impact our social and academic success.
We will be commending compassionate behaviors and talking about ways we can show equality/fairness for ourselves, in relationships with classmates, teachers, friends and family, in our education and overall character. We will also highlight ways showing equality/fairness creates opportunities for triumph and growth.
A few things to remember when reviewing and discussing equal behaviors with our students, and teaching how to be a fair person; play by the rules, take turns and share, be open-minded and listen to others, don’t take advantage of others, don’t blame others carelessly, think about how your reactions will affect others, and treat everyone equally no matter who they are.
We will continue the character trait tickets. When students are seen displaying equal and fair actions they will be rewarded with tickets. These tickets allow students the opportunity to be nominated for Eagle of the week and month. Their names will be announced in the morning on Fridays, and for Eagles of the month the students are treated to lunch with the principal!
A FAIR PERSON

Tell the truth.
Play by the rules.

Listen to people with an open mind.
Don't blame others for your mistakes.
