Brag Tags and Character Counts!!

Happy Wednesday Evening, Friends! Kerri here...

I LOVE teaching Character Education in my classroom. I think it is SO SO important, and is something that most kids really need reinforced at school. 

I  love to teach my kiddos about the character pillars- Fairness, Caring, Responsibility, Trustworthiness, Respect, and Citizenship. To help my kidlets learn all about Character Education, I created my Character Kids! Character Building Pack...

Here's what's included...
I plan on saving all of the circle maps, sentence scrambles, and character trait writing samples and binding them into a book at the end of the year, after we have learned about all 6 traits. I think the kids will LOVE it!! And, the posters are just so darn cute. Take a looksie...

I am also uber-excited about the classroom certificates that I will give my kiddos when I see them showing a particular character trait. I think the parents will be so proud to get one of these sent home!!

Another way I reinforce character education is by giving out Brag Tags from Imagestuff.com. I am sure you have seen these floating around Blog Land. These are RAD! 
I started this program last year, and my kids LOVED it! My new pack just came in the mail and I am sooo excited!! Here's what I got...

And I also got these...
YAY for the 100th day!!!

kill me now. This is the cutest thing EVER!!!
These will fit oh-so-perfectly with my Character Education program and I can't wait to get started teaching my little ones how to become Models of Character! Stay tuned, because next week I will have a HUGE announcement about the FABULOUS brag tags you see above!! You're gonna LOVE it!

XOXO Kerri B

  1. Love Brag Tags. Your unit looks great. Do you buy brag tags with your own money? I do but they are so worth it.

  2. Thank you for sharing this! I have been working on using the wording with my school to help build their character and this is a wonderful tool! We have been using dog tags for a few years now and am begging my principal to purchase the bucket filler, honesty, kindness, respect..etc... It will be a wonderful addition to the awards we hand out each quarter. :)
