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.
