As you settle into classroom routines with your new students, it's always a great idea to remind them that character counts in order to create an inviting and successful learning environment! Our 'pick' for fall is this adorable apple themed design that displays important character traits - trustworthiness, self-discipline, compassion, respect, tolerance, acceptance, honesty, fairness, responsibility, good citizenship, etc.
Picking Up On Great Character!
Background: Cover the entire board with light blue bulletin board paper, adding a strip of green background paper to the bottom of the board and using scissors to fringe the top, making it look like grass.
Title: "Picking Up On Great Character!"
Border: Dots on black wavy border.
Decoration:You can find all of these great bulletin board elements at your favorite teacher store! The bushel basket and apple cutouts are part of Creative Teaching Press' apple bulletin board set and the tree is a Carson Dellosa product...

However, you could also create your own accents using background paper and construction paper.
I thought I was ordering the really big paw since it said large, but this is the small one about the size of my palm. I would recommend putting some thing next to the paw print to show size.
I needed good old basic letters to reinforce letter formation for older students (2nd grade) so I didn't want something too "kiddy" or a page full of graphics and less content. This fit the bill! Perfect :)
My 3 year old is really enjoying this activity. I like how she gets the reward of eating m&ms upon completion of the activity. The only improvement I would suggest is that each box could be a little bigger, to make it easier for little ones to point to each m&m and not mess up the count accidentally.
