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.

Maine Learning Results learning standard: History 3 · how each person and family shares common and unique parts of culture and traditions

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
