Students will recognize how their actions affect a friend's feelings, and practice a four-part repair (notice, own it, apologize, make it right).

Students will finish empathy sentence starters ("When someone is sad, I can...") and explain how noticing a feeling leads to a kind act.

Students will plan a kind act tailored to a specific classmate's feelings or needs, carry it out during the day, and reflect on how the act affected both people.

Students will analyze short scenarios to decide whether empathy was shown, highlight the evidence, and rewrite non-empathetic responses.

Students will generate open questions to understand another person's perspective and practice listening without interrupting or fixing.

Students will rate how strongly a person might feel in different situations, explain their reasoning, and match the level of support to the level of feeling.

Students will recognize that people prefer to receive kindness in different ways, identify their own preferences, and ask a classmate about theirs.

Students will identify a problem in the school or neighborhood, name who is affected and how they might feel, and propose one empathy-based action.

Students will learn a step-by-step routine for showing empathy (notice, imagine, remember, ask, act) and apply it to a scenario card.

Students will practice focused listening (eyes, body, no interrupting), reflect back what they heard, and describe how being truly listened to feels.

Students will complete an empathy map (feeling, thinking, saying, doing) for a character in a scenario and use it to choose a helpful response.

Students will identify what helps them feel better when they are upset, learn that friends may need different things, and practice asking a friend what they need.
