Word of the Week for February 08th ~ February 12th:

LOYALTY

 

 

This week we are studying about the character trait of loyalty.

 

The definition of loyalty is:

         

          The tie binding a person to something for which he or she feels allegiance. 

 

In our lesson for the trait of loyalty, students will be made aware of what loyalty is through art and literature.  According to legend, the sunflower has been used as a symbol of loyalty.  It follows the sun from dawn until it reaches its highest point and then remains constant through the long afternoon until the sun goes down.  There is a connection between loyalty and commitment.  When we are loyal to our family, our school, or a team, we remain committed to them no matter what the situation. 

 

If you would like to participate in the reinforcement of what we are studying this week in character education, here are some ideas for you and your child to work on together.

 

      There are many good books on the loyalty of a pet to its master.  Choose one from the library to read with your child (Lassie, for example, or a book about the K-9 unit of a police department).

      Be an example of loyalty to your child’s team (soccer, baseball, or other sports) by cheering him or her on no matter what the score is.

      Invite someone who has served in the military to speak with your child about the importance of loyalty during time of war or talk with your child about heroes known for their loyalty from colonial times to present. 

 

Discuss with your child what it means to be loyal to an employer: being dependable, keeping confidences; putting in a full day’s work for a full day’s pay. 

 

“Without loyalty, you can’t have integrity.”
