Helpful Hearts

Teacher Christine Hutton shares one of her favourite Character Education activites in her JK class at Pinewood school. Since February has Valentine's Day, I do a Heartful Helpers program that involves the families sending in hearts (that I've sent home already). Families send in hearts stating what their child has demonstrated at home involving sharing, caring and helping. I've been doing this activity for about 3 years now and the families and children just love it!

Give The Gift of Caring This Holiday Season

Nicolle Schuurman shares a display created for the month of December

at Chapleau Highschool.

"Give the gift of caring this holiday season" display was a school wide project - everyone in our school from the teaching staff, non-teaching staff and every student is represented on the board.

Grade 9s - handprints for tree
Grade 10s - presents under the tree
Grade 11s - snowflakes
Grade 12s - light bulbs
Non-teaching - christmas balls on tree
Teachers - Snowmen

Each person wrote a special message on their contribution about how they are going to show they care this holiday season.

The second display ~ SNOW Secret is a display to highlight all the attributes

Thanks for sharing this great idea Nicolle.
