Unit 1 — Mixed Feelings, My Story & My Goals
Overview
This unit opens the year inward, building on Grade 2’s work of telling similar feelings apart and noticing where a feeling lives in the body. Learners now describe how a feeling can change over time and name when they feel more than one feeling at once, explain how the same situation can make different people feel differently, tell the story of their own life so far in order with its important people and places, name the several groups they belong to and how each one shapes who they are, set a simple personal goal and name its first step, and practice managing a strong feeling in a group without disrupting others. Every family’s shape and every child’s pace are honored.
Essential questions
- How do feelings change over time, and what does it mean to feel more than one thing at once?
- Who am I becoming, and what is my next step?
