Lesson Plan

Emotional Compass Blueprint

Students will recognize and label their own emotions through emoji check-ins, emotion mapping, and scenario role-play to build self-awareness and emotional vocabulary.

Developing emotional intelligence in 4th graders supports self-regulation, empathy, and positive classroom climate by giving students tools to identify and discuss feelings.
