In a moment you are

going to lie on the floor

and close your eyes. I

your weekend and focus

on something that you

enjoyed doing.

close your eyes and think

carefully, focussing on

the keywords that remind

you of the things you did.

on a piece of paper to

record those main

ideas/keywords that will

remind you about your

Identify others’ feelings using physical, verbal, and situational clues. Determine whether others’ feelings have changed, in response to scenarios.

Lesson Concepts People can have different feelings about the same situation, and their feelings can change. Empathy is feeling or understanding what someone else is feeling. Thinking about others’ perspectives helps you have empathy for them.
