Every day I also do Morning Meeting where we discuss, revisit, review, and practice should situations arise (usually playground issues). This year we're doing Bucket Fillers whole-school, so that's been a good positive intervention. We are also explicitly teaching "what is bullying and what isn't" per our new state laws. I would L.O.V.E this book! I am a HUGE fan of Juice Box Bully and I'm sure this one is equally as good!<br /><br />Angela :)<br /><i><b><a href="http://hippohoorayforsecondgrade.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Hippo Hooray for Second Grade!</a></b></i>Angela Nerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850764825940118172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613616153468099498.post-86155957697596830422013-01-13T21:55:22.664-05:002013-01-13T21:55:22.664-05:00We start on the first day of school.

For example, Trustworthiness is doing what you say you will do, and doing what you should at all times, even if the teacher isn't looking. Then I (and later other students) look for examples of students demonstrating the trait during the day. I use LOTS of read alouds to match any problem areas we are having too!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752738894753726090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613616153468099498.post-1838139110818150802013-01-13T19:39:50.955-05:002013-01-13T19:39:50.955-05:00I try to model and teach good character daily, but...I try to model and teach good character daily, but we have a wonderful school counselor who teaches character lessons to all grade levels in our school.<br />susanlulu@yahoo.comsusanluluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647587383680159584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613616153468099498.post-77780614602907195032013-01-13T19:05:16.057-05:002013-01-13T19:05:16.057-05:00While our county sends out 'character skills&#...While our county sends out 'character skills' for each month, in kindergarten we have so many more opportunities to share and model.

We give compliments to people around us at least once a week formally. Students can also write down when someone said something or did something nice for them. My teammate came up with it, and I just love it! :) We also did a big antibully-chracter ed unit with Spokley the Pumpkin in October!<br /><br />Katie<br />smileykate52@hotmail.com<br /><b><i><a href="http://smilesfrom2ndgrade.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Smiles from 2nd Grade </a></i></b>Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175101537710748388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613616153468099498.post-67974734863032339432013-01-13T15:56:51.129-05:002013-01-13T15:56:51.129-05:00Our school has a character trait of the month.

I really work on a community feel in my classroom. We've work using kind words, helping each other and making others feel good. I've used bucket filling idea books to help with this. Also use Values.com videos to focus on some manners and ways to be kind. I'm always looking for more read alouds in this area though. Thanks for sharing, I'm going to be looking into our libraries to see they have any of these books.<br />Tiggeriffic 2nd Gradershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828006024553572955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613616153468099498.post-77557021565957004382013-01-13T13:42:28.401-05:002013-01-13T13:42:28.401-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tiggeriffic 2nd Gradershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828006024553572955noreply@blogger.com
