10 Characteristics of a Good Citizen
Kids Voting's Classroom Partnership Committee (made up of current and retired teachers) has identified ten characteristics that help make someone a good citizen. Each characteristic is assigned to one of the months of school. The Committee endeavors to find and/or create lessons that you can use in your classroom to help illustrate and reinforce understanding of that characteristic.
Here are the months and their assigned characteristic:
