POSITIVITY PROJECT
Character Trait for the Week: Forgiveness
Teachers hope that you've had some significant conversations with your children this week on ways to support other people when they struggle -- and why that is such an important aspect on humanity. On Monday, students begin learning about forgiveness -- which is the ability to move past being injured and accept that people make mistakes.
For a 1-page overview of forgiveness, please click here and for a blog post with additional links to academic research into forgiveness, please click here.
