Lesson Plan

Empathy Explorers Unite Lesson Plan

Students will reflect on classmates’ experiences this year, identify emotions they may have felt, and craft personalized supportive messages to foster empathy, social awareness, and strengthen classroom community.

Practicing empathy helps students recognize and respect peers’ feelings, builds a caring classroom culture, and develops essential social skills for positive relationships.
