This is a programme from the Vancouver Canucks organization which focusses on personality traits involved with social and emotional learning. We will be doing several lessons over the course of the school year. We began our lessons by discussion some personality traits such as: kindness; friendliness; and perseverance. We read a book called, “I Like Me”, which is about a chubby pig who likes herself for being just the way she is – whether she is on her own or with others. Students then thought about things that they like about themselves – things they are good at doing, how they treat others, etc.
They then created wishing well art pieces with their written statement about themselves incorporated into the art.
I look forward to many more lessons over the school year.
