October Character word: RESPECT

**Treat others and things around you the way you would want to be treated and the way

you want your things treated**

Who do I respect:

• Others

• Myself

• Property

• Authority

• Living Things

• Our World

How do I show respect:

• Others: using good manners, being kind, being helpful, treating them how I want to be treated, share, and listen

• Myself: eating well, exercising, keeping  safe, keeping clean, brushing my teeth, making good choices, and always doing my best

• Property: ask before borrowing someone else's things, don't steal or take, don't vandalize, take care of my things and other people's things, and don't break someone's things on purpose

• Authority: follow rules, follow, directions, follow laws, and don't talk back

• All Living Things: take care of pets, don't disturb habitats of animals in nature, don't hurt living things, such as animals, trees and plants

• Our World: Don't litter, throw away trash, recycle, reduce, reuse and conserve energy, tolerate difference of others, and show respect for all cultures
