Lesson Plan

Friends in Action Lesson Plan

Students will learn to recognize and label feelings, practice turn-taking, and demonstrate kindness by making friends and supporting classmates with diverse abilities, including cerebral palsy.

Fostering inclusive social skills builds empathy, clear communication, and peer support. These abilities help all students feel respected, safe, and connected in the classroom.
