Lesson Plans - Character Education

Icebreakers

The kids love it when you remember things about them so I can just read up on them and use my knowledge to talk to them about them and their families.

Getting Acquainted

I ask that the children bring in a small bag of pictures and other small objects that could be part of a “me” collage. These collages are a good springboard for the children to discuss their unique qualities, and at the end of the year, they enjoy seeing how they have changed.

Get to know you bags

I supply a white paper bag for them to fill with five items that will tell the class a little about them. They fill the bags with pictures, magnets, small stuffed toys, medals, past report cards, awards, etc. Throughout the first day each student will share what’s in their bag and why.

Back to School Back Pack

After the students have arrived, we sit together on the floor to get to know each other.

Autobiography Poem

he first day of school I tell my students that their first assignment will be to write a poem. I usually hears moans and groans at this point, especially since I teach Math. I say that this will be the easiest poem they have ever written because it will be about themselves.
