Build Godly Character

A character trait and corresponding buzzphrase, which is a short statement about the character trait, is introduced in each unit. For instance, when Kindness is being studied, the buzzphrase is: “Set your mind to be kind.” This statement can be repeated by the teacher to help solidify the concept in students’ minds in real-life situations as she uses it to both praise and remind students to be kind.

The character trait journal also helps children to discuss and then write or draw (1st grade) about what instilling the habit of being kind means in their own daily lives. The character trait is studied and discussed several times in each unit.
