Lesson 12: Ways to Be Kind
In this lesson, students will learn and practice two ways they can be kind to others: asking, “Are you okay?” and offering to keep someone company.
You Can Try This at Home
Help your child think of a family member or close friend who could use some company. Encourage them to ask the person, “Would you like some company?”
Lesson 13: Offering Kind Acts
In this lesson, students will learn and practice two types of kind acts: offering to help someone and inviting someone to join.
You Can Try This at Home
Help your child think of a kind act they can do for someone involving offering to help or inviting them to join. Support your child in carrying out the kind act.
Lesson 14: Practicing Kind Acts
In this lesson, students will role-play doing kinds acts in response to different scenarios.
You Can Try This at Home
Ask your child to tell you about the kind acts they and their classmates have been learning about at school this week.
Lesson 15: Demonstrating Kind Acts
In this lesson, students will show what they’ve learned about kind acts as they role-play doing kind acts for others in a variety of contexts.
You Can Try This at Home
Choose a day of the week (for example, Wednesdays) as “kindness day.” Help your child think of kind acts they can do for family members, friends, or neighbors. Write the kind acts on the calendar for the next several weeks.
