All About Me

Feelings, kindness and being me

What your child practices

Naming feelings, noticing how we are the same and different, and choosing kind actions so everyone feels respected.

Alaska content standards learning standard: SS.K.1.25.1; SS.K.2.21.1 · exploring the traditions of families and cultural groups, and describing events from a child's own point of view

How we explain it

Children can open this short lesson before they practice.

  1. Feelings have names: happy, sad, scared, angry.
  2. Think: what happened? How would you feel?
  3. Kind choices help others feel good.

Example: Your friend shares a toy with you. How might you feel? Sharing is a kind thing to do. Kind things make us feel good. Answer: happy
