Do you have a hard time getting your child excited about reading and writing?
Does your child like to act out scenes from movies, tell stories, create fictional characters and use their imagination? 

Then this is a class worth investing in. 

In this class we will discuss different core values that shape our character. We will do so in a creative way. Every week we will discuss 2 core values and we will use our imaginations to create a story or skit that will help us learn how we should act or react in certain situations. We will read about my personal experiences and discuss about other people who have had to deal with some sort of adversity and how they were able to overcome. Due to copyright laws we will be using my own stories and experiences. We will also be sharing of other characters we have read in previous books or movies. There will not be any other books from other authors in this course.  Students will be encouraged to write out summaries of different books and movies that they have read or watched in the past that relate to the core value we will be discussing. We will learn how to have empathy for others and the importance of standing up for ourselves in a safe and constructive way. 
This class is designed to inspire students to read and create their own writings. It is also designed to get students interacting with each other building social skills and learning to problem solve in a group setting. 

Week one: What is character and why is it important to have "good character"?
Week two: Respect and Compassion
Week three: Integrity and Responsibility
Week four: Self-control and Humility

We will discuss 2 core values every week and create skits and stories for each characteristic.
