Classroom Citizenship And Character Education Puppets

Children adore our puppets and so do we! Puppets spark children’s attention, imagination and confidence in ways that adults often cannot. They frequently are perceived as “real” people with whom personal relationships are easily established. In our series, Miss Sara interacts with our diverse community of puppets to teach character education, provide examples of good social interactions and even to introduce difficult topics. When a puppet expresses their feelings, or motivates good behavior, children accept it as a trusted peer to peer interaction. We’ve created a relatable persona for each of our puppets that children delight in discovering throughout our 36-episode series. As Gray Squirrel might ask Miss Sara, Can puppets be good role models to children? We say, Absolutely!

 

Tap Into The Power Of Music

As you may know, utilizing music in kindergarten classrooms positively affects learning and enhances student engagement. To further reinforce our character traits, we’ve included original songs in our NEW kindergarten episodes! There are currently 15 original songs available to our subscribers and three more to come!

What Teachers Are Saying

I have been able to implement character traits in my classroom this year like I have not been able to in the past. Our school has always lacked good, strong character trait lessons, so when I got the chance to try Character Tree this year I was excited. As I go through the lessons with my students (ranging from Kindergarten through fifth grade), not only are they engaged but the rest of the school is noticing that they have picked up a new trait.

Jay Crites, School Counselor & Character Tree Subscriber

We have really loved using the Character tree videos and lessons. I teach special education with a diverse student population. They really love the videos and I love having the worksheets and lesson plans already made so we can learn/teach as we go. There isn’t any prep that I have to do other than I have been printing the worksheets and making them into a booklet for the students so they have one for each major topic that we cover.
