Oh.  em.  gee.  y’all.  I cannot tell you how excited I am to have been invited to blog with the super sweet ladies over at Elementary Entourage!!!  ANNNND guess what!! As they announced my joining their blog this week, Melissa from Mrs. Dailey’s Classroom has an interview with me posted on the Elementary Entourage blog! Click {HERE} to check out her interview with me and follow us while you’re there!! These ladies are FULL of fabulous ideas! SO glad to be joining them!!

Have you hopped through for some LUCKY freebies yet?!? My sweet sweet bloggy pals at A Spark of Inspiration and I (HAVE YOU HEARD THAT I JOINED THEIR COLLABORATIVE BLOG?!) have a fun FREEBIE filled hop for you! Click {HERE} to start hopping or on the image below. Hurry! The hop ends tomorrow!!! 

Soooooo it’s March.  in 2nd grade.  Our character has been tested.   I’ve busted out the character ed pack.  We need to build back up our character like CRAZY. . . . 
One of the first character traits that we spent some time talking about is RESPONSIBILITY! 
We used one of my favorite videos about responsibility {HERE}…
annnnd I rewarded a few responsible friends with a responsibility award as I caught them being super responsible this week.  These awards are from my Character Ed. Bounce Away the Bullies pack.

Here are all of the other character traits that we are going to be focusing on throughout the rest of the month, too.  I hope I can get rid of all of these awards catching my kids showing great character!

Traits included in this pack are:  
 trustworthy
responsible
respectful
honest
self disciplined
caring
confident 
cooperative  
patient   
determined  
team player

We also practice listing and labeling a few ways to show each trait on these fun recording sheets!


We wrapped up the week with this fun cooperative group work activity! . . .We were working on showing RESPECT as our character trait focus and I gave each group of kiddos a letter of the word RESPECT…

They worked together to write on the letters examples of things to do and say that are RESPECTFUL!!  I then mounted them on black paper and hung them over our door!

It looks GREAT and has already made a difference to help my kids build back up their CHARACTER as we round the final quarter of 2nd grade!!

ANNNND I’ve got a fun organizing FREEBIE for you!! Are you on Spring Break?! Is yours coming up like mine?!? I’ve got a fun Spring Break FREEBIE TO DO LIST for you to keep all of your Spring Break to dos and plans organized!!  Click the image below to snag some fun Spring Break to do lists to keep your break productive!
Happy Friday, friends!! Head over to Doodle Bugs Teaching to check out what everyone else was up to this week!!
