If you’re looking for an activity that will spotlight signature strengths, you’ve come to the perfect place!
Piggybacking off of this KEY template that we shared at Thanksgiving 2015, to thank our staff members for being key to unlocking so many doors for our students and their families …
… I created this from one of Audrye’s illustrations that didn’t make it into the book. Click {here} to download. Put copies on the table at your back-to-school inservice and ask staff members to write words and phrases that describe who they are and what they bring to your school family. Use it to talk about humility and a healthy pride, something they’ll model to the learners in their class family every day.
When the masterpieces are finished, consider attaching a picture of each staff member on his/her page and post it on a Wall of Fame at your school’s entrance. Won’t that make a beautiful visual? But don’t stop there! Ask your students to complete one as well. Better yet, put blank templates out at Open House and ask families to fill them out. Or send them home in the first-week folder and get everyone involved.
Do send me a picture when your KEY strengths are on display!
