Unit 1 — Who Am I?

Overview

This first unit helps Kindergarten learners notice and name their feelings and begin to build a positive sense of self. It is intentionally gentle: the goal is emotional vocabulary and belonging, not performance.

Essential questions

  • What am I feeling right now, and how do I know?
  • What makes me me, and what do I share with others?
