Free Videos to Celebrate Women’s History Month

Educators can celebrate Women’s History Month with their students with free character education videos—two of which are brand new—from The Character Tree. Each episode, hosted by a real first-grade teacher, pairs a character trait like kindness or empathy with an influential woman.

Episodes include:

Respect & Shirley Temple (New)
Hope & Misty Copeland (New)
Curiosity & Mae Jemison
Bravery & Simone Biles
Bravery & Ruby Bridges
Kindness & Jane Goodall
Perseverance & Michelle Kwan
Empathy & Clara Barton
Integrity & Rosa Parks
Integrity & Sonia Sotomayor

The Character Tree is a new online resource for character development that uses engaging discussions, real-life examples from history, role modeling, and hands-on materials to emphasize positive character traits.

The free subscription provides access to a collection of videos suitable for first and second grade students. The videos feature puppets asking and answering questions, as well as discussions about prominent figures. The lessons are standards-aligned and each comes with a teacher’s guide and printable resources for students.

Teachers and parents can sign up to access the videos for free through the end of the school year by visiting: https://charactertree.com/sign-up/#join.
