In this 6-session lesson series for Kindergarten to 8th graders, students explore themes from The Remember Balloons by Jessie Oliveros—memory, loss, and love—through read-alouds, discussions, and hands-on activities. This lesson helps students develop emotional literacy, storytelling skills, and empathy while accommodating IEPs, 504s, and ELL needs. Each 30-minute session is packed with clear objectives, differentiation strategies, and engaging tasks.
