Advocate for Respect with 'I Feel' Messages

This lesson plan is designed to teach kindergarten students the importance of advocating for respect and kindness in their interactions with others. Over the course of three weeks, students will engage in one-on-one activities and discussions that promote understanding and empathy, focusing on using 'I feel' messages to express their emotions constructively, especially when communicating with adults. This lesson is crucial for developing social-emotional skills at an early age, helping students build positive relationships and a supportive classroom environment.
