Emotions Exploration

Students will learn to recognize, name, and reflect on a variety of emotions in themselves and others, developing self-awareness and social awareness through interactive discussions, role-play charades, and personal reflection.

Understanding and naming emotions enables students to communicate feelings effectively, foster empathy, and build supportive peer relationships, laying a foundation for emotional regulation and social competency.
