Lesson Plan
Emotion Explorers Lesson Plan
Students will identify and express four core emotions in English and Spanish through visuals, drawing, and discussion to build empathy and bilingual communication skills.
This lesson fosters self-awareness and empathy, enhances vocabulary in both languages, and supports social-emotional growth for K–5 students—including those with IEPs, 504s, or emerging language needs.
