Lesson Plan

Sunshine Feelings Lesson Plan

Students will explore and articulate summer-related emotions through playful beach imagery, practice active listening with peers, and reflect on their feelings in a creative cool-down exercise.

This mini SEL session builds emotional awareness, verbal expression, and peer connection in a joyful, familiar summer context—key skills for self-regulation and social development.
