Fruits of the Spirit Character Development

Fifth graders will build their character through the Fruits of the Spirit.  We will be putting together a travel guide that will help us reflect on and live the Fruits of the Spirit in our lives.  Check back for an update on what we did each month.

Fruits of the Spirit

Self Control           Patience         Kindness             Peace         Joy       Love   

Goodness/Generosity    Faithfulness    Gentleness

September - During the month of September we have been practicing the fruit of patience.  Students reflected in their travel journals about where they would like to work on the their patience.  Students also filled in a souvenir box with items that they would buy on a trip to remind them about patience. 

October- During the month of October we are practicing the fruit of self-control.  Students learned that Peter had moments that were out of control and moments that showed self-control.  On their travels this month students are encouraged to show self-control in school, at home, and in their community.  Students created a comic strip showing how different ways to have self-control as the souvenir for this part of their trip.
