Teacher Talk: Every month, we focus on Character traits. If we look at our list 

of qualities of an important person, is there a connection with the Character 

words? 

[Ask students to name a Character attribute; go to the Anchor Chart and 

help them to see the connection (e.g., Perseverance is never giving up 

and looking after us even if not feeling well; Responsibility is looking after 

someone, protecting us, going to work every day; Co-operation is helping 

people). Record these Character attributes on the Anchor Chart.]

CONSOLIDATING THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Teacher Talk: Great job working together! On our Anchor Chart, we’ve listed 

some of the qualities shown by the people we identified, important people in 

our families, in school, in the community and in Canada. We were also able 

to make connections to some of the monthly Character traits we focus on in 

school.

If we now look to our Learning Wall, based on our lesson today, what words 

could we add? (Some possibilities are “Perseverance,” “Responsibility,” 

other Character attributes identified by the class, and  words from the Anchor 

Chart.)

Now I want you to think about yourself and the Character traits we’ve 

identified. Which traits do you show, maybe at home or here at school?

Facilitation Note: Guide students to realize that they display some of 

these traits regularly: They show Perseverance by using class time to finish 

work, focusing on the lesson, studying their spelling words and doing their 

chores at home (even if they want to watch TV). They show Responsibility by 

making their bed, emptying their lunch bag when they get home, taking the 

attendance to the office and listening to the teacher.

Teacher Talk: Now I’d like you to choose one of these Character traits and 

draw two pictures: one picture will show you demonstrating that trait, and the 

other picture will be of one of the “important people” also showing that trait. 

Let’s do an example together.
