These character traits are perfect for Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade and can be used during any time of year to encourage and recognize students' positive traits.

These awards include 32 different character traits and would be particularly timely at the end of the year before you send your students off for summer vacation.

Recognize and reward your high school students' good character traits and reinforce good behavior in the classroom. These awards go really well especially if you teach character education in the classroom.

This resource includes:

* 32 Character Trait Awards

The best way to teach vocabulary to kids is by playing educational games.

This resource includes 30 end of the year certificates for students that focus on positive character traits. Each certificate has a cute, catchy title specific to a character trait and animal that it pairs to along. Additionally, each certificate gives a sentence that connects how that character trait is used by the animal in the wild. For example, the Enthusiastic Emu Award is given to a student for their boundless enthusiasm and energy, always eager to jump into new experiences like an emu racing across the outback! This resource gives the option of printing the awards with the animal picture within the medal or printing without pictures.

These awards are great because they praise positive character traits that we as teachers promote and praise daily. They focus on attributes that students can control versus success within specific academic subjects which can can be disheartening for students that struggle with academic tasks or have learning disabilities.

PLEASE NOTE THAT BOTH OF THESE FILES INCLUDE A SPECIAL 2020 LETTER TO ADDRESS EDUCATION CHANGES AS A RESULT OF THE CORONAVIRUS. COVID-19 WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE WAYS WE DELIVER INSTRUCTION TO STUDENTS AND THESE LETTERS ADDRESS THAT UNCERTAINTY.

NOTE: The body of these letters ARE NOT EDITABLE. The only editable fields on these letters are the greeting and signature fields. If you are looking for a letter with an editable body, these letters are NOT for you!

Please read the description for each product below:

BACK TO SCHOOL LETTERS FROM THE TEACHER:

This welcome back to school product includes a letter that teachers can send home to parents as well as a letter that teachers can send home with students. Each letter comes in a variety of border choices and black-and-white versions.

• The letter to parents comes with a boy or girl version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter to reflect a male student or a female student). This letter has three color background options as well the corresponding backgrounds in black and white.

• The letter to students comes with three color background options as well as the corresponding backgrounds and clip art in black and white. Note: This letter does not require a boy/girl option since the teacher is using the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.

• The new letters that have been added for 2020 can be found in the BEGINNING of the product file. You will find them on the first six pages following the instructions for editing the text boxes in the greeting and signature fields.

All versions of each letter have editable text boxes in the Greeting Field and the Signature Field. You can edit these two places on each letter, if you choose. If you'd like to print the letters as is, you may write in the student's name and your own signature. Just for reference, the font is Miss Kindergarten by Kimberly Geswein and the size is 14. THE BODY OF THE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE.

BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I have NOT copied a letter that I found online and retyped it. This is important because you may want to mix things up and send a new letter home this year.

If you have any questions about this product, please ask prior to purchasing. If you aren't sure how to edit text boxes, I've included a page of instructions at the beginning of the product for your convenience.

END-OF-YEAR LETTER TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS:

AN ADDITIONAL SPECIAL 2020 VERSION OF THESE LETTERS HAS BEEN ADDED to account for the changes that occurred in the 2020 school year due to the COVID crisis. These letters make note of the fact that your school year ended early unexpectedly due to the coronavirus.

You will also find a GOOGLE Slides option so that you can send paperless letters remotely (via email or through Google). Look at the final page of the GOOGLE SLIDES FILE for instructions on sending these end of year letters remotely!

NOTE: The body of these letters are NOT EDITABLE. If you want a letter that you can edit, this is NOT the product for you. The greeting and signature field are the ONLY customizable portions of this product.

These editable (the greeting and signature fields are the ONLY editable portion of the letters) end of year letters to students and parents include an encouraging letter that teachers can send home to parents as well as a letter that teachers can send home with students (each letter contains a different message and is ORIGINAL).

The letter to parents comes with a boy or girl version (the pronouns are changed throughout the letter to reflect a male student or a female student). This letter has three color background options as well as similar backgrounds in black and white.

The letter to students comes with three color background options as well as the corresponding backgrounds in black and white. Note: This letter does not require a boy/girl option since the teacher is using the pronouns "you" and "I" throughout the letter.
