Learning Character with Kelso DVD:
Kids everywhere are learning character with Kelso. Encourage students to be respectful, caring, fair, responsible and honest.
See good character in action! Short, true-to-life vignettes show your class how students just like them demonstrate good character. This video presents a scenario for each of the five character traits for K-3rd grade students and a whole new set of scenarios for 4th-5th grade students.
This video program helps children understand the meaning of these complex concepts by presenting short, true-to-life vignettes. Watch as students approach an everyday situation without utilizing a good character skill, followed by a vignette of the students approaching the same situation, this time, using the good character skill. Students will see how other children apply good character in class, at recess and at home.
This DVD is presented in two separate, developmentally appropriate sections:
