Unit 11 — Fairness & Caring for Others
Overview
This unit makes ethics concrete: sharing, taking turns, and kindness. Children name kind and helpful things to do, tell when something is fair or unfair in a simple situation, take part in a group decision or a small class job, and use words (or a grown-up’s help) to solve a small disagreement and make things right. Questions of right and wrong are held as questions to explore together, not answered as rules to obey.
Essential questions
- What is fair, and how do we care for each other?
- How do we solve small disagreements and make things right?
