On September 20th, over 600 Bear Branch Elementary students were treated to the annual kickoff of the EarlyAct FirstKnight (EAFK) Character Education Program designed to get the children excited about the program and begin thinking about becoming a person of chivalry and of good moral character. Our EAFK knight, Sir James, explained to the student about the importance of service, plus explained some of the equipment used by knights.
This award-winning character education curriculum, which is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and based upon Bloom's Taxonomy, can only be sponsored by a Rotary club, and this will be the 7th school year that Kingwood Rotary Club has sponsored it at Bear Branch Elementary School.
Bear Branch Elementary School is the only Humble ISD campus with the EAFK curriculum. Since 2011, our Rotary club has honored over 1,044 students for having outstanding morals and ethics. EAFK creatively teaches and motivates students to become more civil, service-oriented people during their most formative years.
Each day of school, each classroom will spend 10-minutes learning the EAFK curriculum, Students will study one virtue each six weeks followed by a Knighting Ceremony where one student from each class is knighted for consistently demonstrating that virtue. Virtues include respect, discipline, honesty, friendliness, perseverance, and service.
