Lesson Plan
Respect Rocks Lesson Plan
Students will learn the meaning of respect and practice respectful behaviors by identifying respectful actions in stories and pictures, discussing examples, and demonstrating respect in a group game, culminating in a shared classroom respect pledge.
Teaching respect builds a supportive classroom community, fosters positive peer interactions, and lays the foundation for social-emotional growth by helping Pre-K students treat others and materials with kindness and care.
