Fair Haven Library Character Display


From Lynn Virtue: Fair Haven K-8 uses literacy to highlight character traits we want all of our students to emulate.  Each month, every K-6 classroom teacher receives a book that focuses on a selected character trait. Over the summer, I select 10 character traits and 2 books for each month - one for grades K-2 and one for grades 3-6. I provide each teacher with lesson plans and activities to support the character trait of the month.  At the end of the month, each teacher selects one student to come to the LMC for a Book Talk that I facilitate and for another group activity related to the book.
This month's character trait is generosity and the selected books were : The Can Man by Laura Williams and Mama Panyas Pancakes A Village Tale from Kenya by Mary Chamberlain.
