In this one-session lesson, 3rd graders explore the key ingredients—kindness, respect, and trust—that make strong friendships. Through hands-on labs, group discussions, and reflective journaling, students discover how to build and maintain positive relationships, supporting their social-emotional growth (CASEL).
Students in 3rd grade small groups will strengthen responsible decision-making skills by solving fun mystery scenarios over three 40-minute sessions. Through gathering clues, discussing possible solutions, and recording decisions, they’ll practice empathy, critical thinking, and self-regulation in a collaborative setting.
