Lesson Plan

Heart Helpers Lesson Plan

Students will recognize feelings of grief, share experiences of missing someone, and create a “Heart Helpers” craft featuring things that comfort them when they feel sad.

Helping kindergarteners label grief and identify coping tools builds emotional literacy, empathy, and early self-regulation skills in a safe, supportive space.
