WHAT IS CITIZENSHIP?

Grade Three Curriculum

 

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

– Mohandas Gandhi

 

Demonstrating good citizenship is being a person who is involved in trying to make the classroom, the playground, the school, the community, or the world, in general, a better place. Good citizens are always considering the needs of others.

YOU SHOW CITIZENSHIP WHEN YOU:

  • Are being a good friend, peer or neighbour
  • Follow rules
  • Respect authority – your parents, your teacher, people in the community
  • Want to make a difference in whatever setting you are in
  • Look for opportunities to help others or the environment
  • Think of thoughtful things to do for others
  • Work with enthusiasm
  • Don’t wait to be asked when something needs doing
  • Do your part to recycle, reduce, or reuse
  • Help keep your desk and the classroom neat and tidy
  • Do something kind for someone else without expecting anything in return
  • Control your temper.
