Lesson Plan

Mirror My Mood Lesson Plan

Students will recognize and name four basic emotions—happy, sad, mad, and scared—by observing and making facial expressions and practice self-awareness through reflection and peer sharing.

Understanding and labeling emotions builds children’s emotional vocabulary, self-awareness, and social skills, laying a foundation for healthy relationships and emotional regulation.
