Lesson Plan
Quest for Kindness Guide
Students will identify and execute one small act of kindness toward a peer or adult, develop a personal kindness plan, and reflect on the social-emotional impact of their actions.
Cultivating empathy and social awareness in 3rd graders helps them recognize others’ feelings, strengthen positive relationships, and contribute to a caring classroom community.
