My Project

My students are some of the sweetest, most loving, and most diverse kiddos I've ever taught. Many of my students speak another language at home, and their families are open to teaching our class about their cultures. Knowing their different backgrounds has helped me to work on empathy, compassion, and kindness.

I am focusing on building understanding, empathy, and kindness towards first responders.

I will use books, classroom discussions, and role play to give students a chance to understand that police, firefighters, and other community helpers are there to keep them safe. We will be deciding as a class on a community service project aimed at proving compassion for others. With teacher guidance, we will collect new stuffed animals to donate to the police and fire departments to hand out to children in crisis.

I will be able to assess students' understanding of empathy, kindness, and compassion based on conversations, observation of play, and student interactions. Giving students tools to understand, empathize, and show compassion for others will lead to a more harmonious classroom as well.
