2nd graders have been learning about our MKA Character Standards since the start of school, and in recent weeks have reflected on how characters in various story books demonstrate being confident, honest, fair, responsible, informed, respectful, friendly or temperate. Students have seen various characters acting in ways that embody what all members of the MKA community strive to achieve. Through various types of responses, such as class discussions, written responses, and acting out examples, scholars have extended their understanding of our eight, all school Character Standards. Each day students learn to reflect on their learning and friendships to consider how each experience helps them to grow as MKA scholars and members of the community.
