Whether you're teaching second graders to simply identify and describe characters or you're having fifth graders compare and contrast characters between the beginning and end of the story or between two stories, they need to have a good grasp of character traits. Like with any skill, repeated practice and exposure is the key to your students truly understanding and mastering the skill. As I'm planning for the week ahead, I'm racking my brain and resources for character traits ideas and activities. After coming up a wee bit short, I turned to Pinterest and the world wide web. What follows is simply a collection of resources, ideas, and activities I have found and plan on tweaking to meet the needs of my kiddos. I do NOT take credit for any of these great ideas, simply passing along some great resources in one location. Starting with a Mentor Text At Lesson Plan SOS there is a great activity use the story Bad Case of the Stripes. Her blog not only contains info on this great idea, but also several other mini-lessons and activities using the same book. Here is a link to her Camilla Character Trait FREEBIE!! Providing Hand-outs & Resources for Students Although you don't want students to become dependent on a list of traits, it is definitely a great thing to use in the beginning and to serve as a reference throughout the application of the skill. It's also a great writing resource to help them expand their vocabulary. Here is one such Character Trait list. It's from the blog Workshop Classroom, and I especially love this one because it breaks the traits up into categories and categorizes them. I think that this would be great for ELL students and those who need a little extra support. Here's a direct link to the FREEBIE. Here is another list. This one is from Totally Terrific in Texas' blog. She includes the list and a character map via a google doc. (Also a FREEBIE!) Interactive Notebook Fold-able for Hands-on Practice One your kiddos have learned how to use a character's words, thoughts, and actions to infer a character trait, it's time for them to practice. We are currently reading the novel Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper, so I am going to have my kids analyze the characters in the chapters we are reading. Instead of just giving them a worksheet, I'm going to have them do a fold-able to put in their interactive reading notebook. Here is an example of one possible foldable to use by Teaching in Wonderland. (Bonus: It's a FREEBIE!) Fun "Skill to Self" Connection Activity Over at Adventures of Room 129's blog, there's a super cute idea for kids to create a frame that gives them the chance to display some of their own character traits. I' m thinking that after kids create their frame, I'll give them a chance to pick one trait that describes them to share with a partner and then give 'evidence' from their life to prove that it's an accurate trait to describe themselves. For further connection and rigor, kids can then think of a character from a story they have read that shares the same character trait. Do you have any other great ideas? I'd love to hear them and "borrow" them for my classroom :) Feel free to put them in the comments below.

Do you know if your child introvert or extrovert? It matters when it comes to their social and emotional well being. Here are some ways to tell and how to help guide either way.
Good Evening beautiful people how is everyone Thursday going? Mines going great can't complain. I know I haven't been that consistent and I apologize this month has been very teaching to me. I wanted to come today and talk about self-doubt I struggle with this a lot. I'm learning I have to keep a clear mind on this journey I'm on and keep positive thoughts coming to my mind. Which is easier said than done I'm learning myself and my triggers and emotions. And how to let go of the past that weighs so heavily on my back. Which is where a lot of my self-doubt comes from. I have to remember that I am beautiful and have so much to live for. And I can't let my thoughts or moments in life get me distracted from the bigger picture. Every lesson bad or good is just that a lesson a teachable moment. I have to sit back and analyze the lesson and move forward. I just wanted to share my thoughts with you guys I love you all. And we are all on this journey together. Peace and blessings to you all, please comment and share. ”I seek strength, not to be greater than other, but to fight my greatest enemy, the doubts within myself” -unknown https://www.bloglovin.com/blog/19894993/?claim=jvc4jtgymt7

It's a guideline to introduce oneself - ESL worksheets
A funny thing happened in the comments section over the weekend. First, we had a pretty wonderful discussion about the atheist closet, and about the risks and rewards of coming out as a non-believer. I did feel a little uneasy about something, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Then Hemant posted an anti-GOP cartoon. Reading the comments below that post made my vague unease snap into focus. This is what had been bothering me: I am out as an atheist to all of my friends and relatives, and obviously also to the community that has formed around this blog -- a group of mostly funny and insightful people of whom I've grown rather fond. But I suddenly realized that politically speaking, I've been tiptoeing around other people's sensibilities in a way that's begun to feel a little stifling. That's because (someone fetch the smelling salt, and cue the choir of hisses!)... I'm a libertarian.
