Lesson Plan

Session 1 Lesson Plan

Students will identify and express feelings about separation by discussing common emotions, sorting feeling cards, and drawing personal experiences; they will label at least two feelings and share one example.

Recognizing and naming separation-related feelings builds emotional awareness, reduces anxiety around transitions, and fosters coping skills essential for social-emotional growth in kindergarteners.
