Rowdy is poised to ride with a group of 20 teen campers from Crossway Christian Fellowship as they enjoy spending time at summer camp where values are taught, character is discussed, and having fun is a must. As they come together they will read about the struggles Rowdy faces and the challenges he seeks to overcome while learning what it means to be responsible for oneself and finding trust and loyalty in others. Thanks to Pastor Garry Blackmon for including Rowdy in such an important journey for these campers. #readrowdy #crosswaychristianfellowship #summercamp #charactereducation #values #youth #yawestern #responsibility #yalit #fiction #christianeducation #houston https://www.instagram.com/p/CgfcHiBOlnx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Me and My Bike by Ander is a unique read about a boy who wishes on his grandfather's magic lamp for a new bike, his is old and too big for him. Instead his friend gets a new bike. He ends up helping his friend get around and having fun until they have an accident. He then gets it in his head that he will get a new bike with good grades. When his report card comes his mom is so proud but has to explain to him why a bike is not in the cards for them but to be happy with what they have. Instead he asks for crayons and he fixes up his old bike. He then changes his wish... to grow up! It is not impossible to reach dreams coming from lower income but it is more difficult. It takes a bit of maturity, understanding, patience, and perseverance. I loved the illustrations and the texture of the paper in the book but I love the story most. ⭐Published by Heryin.

Moral literacy 

Moral literacy can be defined as “a set of practical skills and abilities that enables one to identify, articulate, and respond to ethical challenges” (The Rock Ethics Institute, 2016). 

In the classroom setting, we see initiatives such as the character development put out by the Ontario Ministry of Education (2008) that aims to make the education system more balanced and holistic with the emphasis on qualities of good citizenship such as empathy and respect for others for an increasingly diverse community. Character development is seen to provide a standard for behaviour against which we hold ourselves accountable (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2008). 

In communities here in Canada, we see a mosaic of diverse beings living along side one another, but not interfering with the practices, beliefs or values of said others. This can be attributed to character, or moral, development that highlight traits such as honesty, caring, respect, empathy, cooperation and integrity that facilitates civic engagement in an interdependent, diverse world which starts at young ages in schooling and other informal modes of education. 

The attached link is from Nipissing University, a resource for K-6 teachers in Ontario teaching moral literacy within their pedagogical or curricular approaches. I found this chart to be useful when attempting to clarify abstract, invisible concepts such as character development traits to younger grades that may not fully understand the definitions of these key terms yet (Puri, n.d.). However, I feel that moral literacy is something that can be easily embedded in my practice through day to day experiences where opportunities can turn into moral lessons for the entire classrooms to learn from. For example, I remember hearing a story about a student who continued to kill ants for fun while another student was getting very upset. This began an escalating conflict between the two students as the ant-killing student did not see any harm in his behaviour or how it may have affected others. It was not until the teacher brought it to the classes attention that ants are beings like us, and that no matter how small they deserve the right to life, and the upset student came from a culture that did not tolerate this type of mindless killing despite them being ants. As a result, this small conflict became a moral lesson for the class, encouraging students to respect the beliefs and feelings of others even if you may not understand or agree with them.

Therefore, moral literacy is an essential 21st century literacy that should be taught at every given opportunity for students of all ages, to promote civil, respectful engagement of individuals with one another in an increasingly diverse and populated 21st century society.

When a child wants to talk to you about their problems, stop everything and listen to them. There is nothing more important than that. The problem may Be Little to you, But to them it has always been big, and it matters to them... take the time to listen, because there problems matter to them. And they should matter to you too. Sometimes saying absolutely nothing at all, is the best thing you can say after all. Listening, listening earnestly to one another, is one of the most sincere forms of respect to each other. Sometimes you may be the only one who is willing to stop and listen. Don’t be afraid to sit down on an elementary school floor to listen to someone who needs to be heard. We all deserve to be heard. Sometimes we just need someone to hear us. • • • • • #MissTennessee #MissTennesseeSchoolTour #CharacterEducation (at Johnson City, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpBI1HZhUFl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h9z49cdmo1ok
