Third graders are a bunch of "characters"!

We are learning about physical and personal character traits during our Readers' Workshop, so today we did an activity to illustrate the different between physical (what can be seen on the outside) and personal (what's on the inside).  Students drew themselves on one side of a cut-out, featuring their own unique physical traits, and then on the back they wrote words describing their own personal traits, like friendly, caring, and helpful.  This also was a way for us to build character word vocabulary!

You can help your child at home by discussing the character traits of your family members and friends!
