My Project
My 2nd graders are learning to show compassion. We have activities designed to foster an emotionally safe environment and support students' emotional well-being.
Card-making kits encourage students to consider their peers' feelings and experiences.
By creating personalized cards for those facing tough times, students learn to empathize and understand how their actions can positively impact others.
Reading books about empathy helps students gain a deeper understanding of different perspectives. Exploring real-life examples and scenarios allows them to appreciate the diversity within their community and develop empathy.
Providing snacks for hungry students addresses their immediate physical needs and teaches them the importance of looking out for one another. Additionally, snacks can be used to reward students who demonstrate acts of kindness and compassion.
In conclusion, these activities collectively teach students to see the world through the eyes of others. I will gauge their understanding and application of compassion through their demonstrated acts of kindness and supportive behavior towards their peers.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
