What traits make someone a person of character? This year every child and adult at Blakely studied a number of character traits. Perseverance, kindness, gratitude, and integrity. Traits that we all appreciate in others and would love to cultivate in ourselves. To begin, our students attended an assembly in which the spotlighted trait was introduced. All month long, students participated in discussions about the behavior and its value.
Positive Paws were distributed to those who were "caught" being kind, persevering, showing integrity, or exhibiting gratitude. This spring we asked each child to select the trait he or she most identified as a strength and write a little bit about it.
