how to prepare for this lesson
In this lesson, students will begin creating more building blocks to be added to their Kindness Bridges. Students will not need their Kindness Bridge Handouts during this lesson. Instead they will only be filling in Part A of the Kindness Bridge Parts #1 Handout. Students will reference their Feelings Wheel Handouts throughout the lesson and should have them available at the start of the lesson.
Be sure to collect these handouts at the end of the lesson or have students put them in a safe place for future use.
The Self-Care and Kindness chart paper list (from Lesson 1) should be available at the start of the lesson. It will be referenced on Slide 6. Be sure to keep this chart paper list for use again in Lesson 6.
Please ensure to pre-check videos before class, as internet policies may vary among schools, to ensure accessibility.
