Character Education
Character Education at Smallwood Drive Elementary
Character education is a significant part of a child’s education at Smallwood. Each month a different character trait is celebrated. Good character is recognized throughout the building and students can receive a certificate when they are “caught being kind”. Each student who receives a certificate has their name placed on a star which then becomes part of the “caught being kind” wall in the front hallway. In addition, at the end of each month, one student from each classroom is selected as the character education student of the month. These students are nominated by their classroom teachers for exhibiting the character skills of the month the most in their classroom. Parents/guardians can support our character education program by promoting good character at home and in the community. Each month a newsletter is sent home to parents with suggested stories to read to their children that incorporate the monthly character trait, as well as other ideas on how to incorporate the skill at home and in our community.
