In this class we will discuss the topic of character and the character principle of attentiveness. Class will meet for 4 weeks, once a week, for 45 minutes and in class, we will have opportunities to discuss honesty and the many topics surrounding the character quality. During class, will learn how being attentive applies to life, how to encourage others to be attentive, and how it involves more than just "listening". 

To help learners understand the concept more thoroughly, I will introduce attentiveness through the study of science/nature and history. In class 2, will learn about deer, their habitat, body language, and how they can teach us to be attentive. In class 3, we will learn about George Washington Carver and how his attentiveness to his work and those around him helped him succeed. 

During the 4 classes we will read books, make crafts, and have time to discuss ideas. We will also memorize a poem to help connect learners with this concept. I will also have some optional materials that parents might want to review to continue learning about this topic after our class has ended..
