Kindness Garden Lesson Plan

Students will learn the meaning of kindness and demonstrate caring by planting a seed in a pot, connecting plant growth to acts of kindness.

Teaching kindness at a young age fosters empathy and builds a positive classroom community. This short, hands-on lesson helps 5-year-olds internalize caring behaviors.
