As part of our Career Exploration unit this 5th grade Life Skills, students have been reflecting on their interests and strengths. This activity asked students to look through a long list of strengths people can have - character strengths, word strengths, people strengths etc. Students were asked to color the statements that they felt were a true "strength" of theirs - something that they did consistently and thought they were really good at. I found this activity at Understood.org and thought it fit well when discussing how things we are strong at can show up in our careers.
Once they had colored all of the statements that applied to them, they cut these strips of paper out and formed "Strengths Chains". Even our friends at home joined in and posed with their chains! Look how many strengths our 5th graders have!!!
