Hi !

In this post, we want to tell you something good about the Character Strengths:

We have almost two years knowing what the C.S. are, and since we know them, we apply them in our daily lifes. Its really cool to apply them because you don't notice when you use them. Is like at the moment and later you realize that you have been using them...

You need to practice them because its important to know that even in the worst situation, you can use them and solve your problems.

We liked this task because it was about us applying the character strengths, and it was not difficult because we already know them.

See you!!

Hey there !

A situation where we had a problem and we didn´t applied the Character Strengths are the following:

With Angie, was a day, when her car stopped and her mom couldn´t move it, Angie got stressed, so she didn´t applied Self-Control. If she had apply it, she would have been calm.

With Valeria, was when she needed to make a presentation and when she explained it, she didn't have enough information. So, if she had have applied Curiosity, she would have a nice presentation.

Have you been in a similar situation?

Character Strengths in My Life

Hi :)

First, we are going to tell you some situations when we applied Character Strengths...

The first situation about Angie, was that she applied Social-Intelligence in school, because at the beggining of the school year, she saw a girl that was alone, so she went with that girl, they started to talk and they worked together.

The second situation, is about Valeria, was that she applied also Social-Intelligence in her house, because a day, when her little sister was having some problems with her homework, she helped her.

In what situation have you applied the character strengths?

Hey there :)

Today, we are going to tell you some tips for you, so you can be a better student...

• In class, you can use Curiosity, because you can raise your hand and ask if you don´t understand something.

• Again, Curiosity, for when you are studying and you don´t undersand something, you can look for it in the internet or ask a friend.

• Also, you can use Self-Control, in case that if a classmate says something that you arwe not agree with, you need to stay calm, and try to understand why he/she said that.

• Another one, is Grit, because you need to know that you can do anything you want, so you need to be perseverant.

• And finally, Optimism, because in case you fail a subject, you use optimistic, thinking that you can be better in the next exam.

We like this task because we learn new things about ourselves and about another student. Also because we told you some tips, and we hope you apply them in your life...

See you later :)

Now we are going to interview a student, and her name is Sofía...

And here are her Character Strengths:

Curiosity: This is because when she has a doubt about something, she investigates about that, until she solve that doubt.

Social-Intelligence: Because she is always helping others and she tries to include everybody, in teams, etc.

Grit: Because she has never gave up. An example: her goal was to never have less than a 9 in the subjects, and this year, she achieved that, because she is very perseverant and intelligent.

With this, we realized that Sofía is a role model for others because she is a good person and a good student.

SEE YOU !

Hi :)

This week we are going to talk about ourselves and our character strengths...

We will start with Angie:

Hi, my name is Angie, I think that my Character Strengths are

Optimism: Because I always try to see the good things in life. For example, when my grandmother was diagnosed with a health disease, all my family got sad because my grandpa died because of the same disease. So I told my family to do not commit the same mistakes. That makes me optimistic, because my family and I, we never gave up. 

Grit: Because I finish all the things that I start. In school, I try to do my best in all the subjects.

Now, about Valeria:

Hi, my name is Valeria, I think that my Character Strengths are:

Grit: Because I´m always trying to have good grades, and when I do something, I keep doing the same until I achieve it. An example about this, is when I did the exam that says if you can enter to the school, and I was nervous, so I did my best, and I pass that exam.

Self-Control: Because I control myself when I´m nervous or things like that.

Which are the character strengths that you think you have? 

see you in the next post :)

Hi again !!

We saw and review, and we realized that between what we though about the Character Strengths the teacher has and what he told us, there is a connection.

We said that the teacher has grit as part of his Character Strengths, and when we interview him, he said that he thought grit was part of his C.S.

Even that, we think that although he didn´t say that zest was part of his C.S. he has that.

Mr. Luis is a good teacher that is always perseverant and doing something good for others or for him.

We think that the week´s task was funny because we learn new things about this teacher and because it´s was enterteining to interview him.

Happy Teacher´s day!!!

See you later :)
