Classroom Guidance

This month's character education word is courage - being brave enough to do what you should do even when you are afraid.

• In kindergarten, Ms. Kenney read the book Barthello's Wing: A Tale of a Very Brave Bug by Janie DeVos.

• Students answered the questions How did Barthello show courage? and How have you showed courage? as a class and Ms. Kenney recorded their answers on a white board.

• Students could refer to the white board to help them write their own sentences answering the questions above making sure to use correct punctuation and capitalization.

• Ms. Kenney compiled students' writing sheets and made them into a class book about courage.

See the students' work below.
