My Unique Self Lesson Plan

Students will identify and celebrate their unique qualities by reflecting on likes, personal attributes, and family, then share and illustrate these aspects to build self-awareness and confidence.

Developing a strong sense of identity helps first graders build self-esteem, understand diversity among peers, and fosters a positive classroom community. This lesson encourages reflection, expression, and peer interaction.
