Lesson Plan

Kindness Compass Lesson Plan

Students will reflect on kindness and empathy they experienced this year and set personal kindness intentions for the next year, building self-awareness, perspective-taking, and goal-setting skills.

Reflecting on acts of kindness helps students recognize positive social interactions, develop empathy, and articulate feelings. Setting kindness intentions fosters a forward-looking mindset and strengthens classroom community as they head into the new year.
