What Teachers Say
-
An age appropriate program that motivates kindergarteners to develop strong character with lots of fun activities and motivational songs. The program is most enjoyable for children and teachers...The activities were lots of fun. The children enjoyed the camera activity and Fairness Frog was their favorite character. They continually ask to hear the CD...They know all of the words but still love hearing the CD. The visor viewers were also a big hit with the kids!! They are now more aware of being more caring, respectful, responsible and trusting. They are quick to point out good things rather than tattling all the time and that is a good thing!
...Great program! Will recommend to my district's character education committee for purchase.

The Character Critters are adorable and my first graders love them. What a great way to teach character education. The motivating activities and delightful songs make learning fun!

Character education is very important in first grade. We learned a new pillar of character education every week. The children loved all of the characters and actively listened to each song. I heard them singing the songs to themselves and to others. If this doesn't show their enthusiasm for these characters and what they teach, I don't know what else does.

I've always believed that music is an important tool that is under utilized in today's classroom. As teachers stress about the multitude of daily issues surrounding classroom management, music is often forgotten as an implement of choice. Character Education...With Music utilized upbeat tunes to solidify and extend lessons on building and sustaining a class community. Used as a part of lessons on character building, this CD engages students in a positive manner and often will illicit toe tapping, clapping, and singing along. My students especially enjoy "Positive Attitude." I have heard students use phrases from the song when commenting on another student's attitude. We all catch ourselves humming or singing parts of the song!
