The character trait focus for the month of November is Courage.

We started our discussion by reading the story:  One Green Apple by Eve Bunting.  It is the story of a young Muslim girl’s experience as she moves to a new country and begins school without being able to speak any English.

We talked about the many ways we can show courage and the many situations we need courage in our daily lives.

Then, to consolidate, we decided to create a bulletin board to show our learning and advertise our message of how to show courage to our peers.  Considering the audience, the students decided that superheroes would be perfect symbols and speech bubbles would make it interesting to read. Then a big message was added in the middle as focal point.
