Step 1. Introduction:
Today we’ll be doing a character study on being appreciative. Can you think of some examples of appreciation? Discuss and interact.
Step 2. Learn about the trait:
Read the definition: Expressing, in words, actions, and thoughts, value to the actions of God and others the ways they have served me. Read the Bible verse: God’s Word says, “In every thing give
thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
Step 3. Do something with what was learned:
Students can copy or dictate the Bible verse and/or the definition (younger children can narrate the meaning orally).
Or students can write or narrate a story about the character trait.
Step 4. Share with another:
The purpose is to show appreciation sometime today. Share how you showed appreciation with
your parents.

Watch for a Teachable Moment
Wait for a child to show a positive or negative character trait.
Example: Susie won’t share her toy with her younger brother. Take Susie into your lap and discuss generosity. Read the definition and Bible verse listed under “generous.” Ask Susie how
she can show generosity.
Reinforce positive behavior by pointing out positive character.
Example: Johnny listens attentively to a lesson. Read the definition and Bible verse listed under “attentive.” Congratulate Johnny for being attentive.

Beautifully done Robin! Many thanks.
Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educated and entertaining, and let me let you know, you may have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the difficulty is something that not sufficient individuals are speaking intelligently about. I am very satisfied that I stumbled across this in my quest for something regarding this.
I am satisfied to see so several helpful info in this article, we need create further approaches in this regard.
I am perpetually thought about this, thanks for putting up.
