Getting upset or frustrated is never fun; that is why Miss Sara is going to teach us some Calm Down Strategies.
You are never too young to help others, like our friend Jahkil, who shows kindness every day to people in need.
Mister Rogers taught generations of kids the value of kindness.
Every video episode of The Character Tree includes printable resources and activities. Here is what you can expect from each of our supplemental materials:
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!
As you may know, utilizing music in kindergarten classrooms positively affects learning and enhances student engagement.

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.
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.
