Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(5)
In this one-session class, students will learn what to say (and just as importantly, what NOT to say), when they want to apologize.
Class experience
Have you ever done something you wish you had not done? You are not alone! Everyone makes a mistake from time to time. Sometimes we do things accidentally, and sometimes we even do things out of carelessness or anger, and then feel bad about it later. If your actions have upset or hurt someone else, you might want to apologize for what you did and try to make things right. You can’t change what happened, but you can try to make amends. And you will probably feel better if you do....
Students will craft an apology either out loud or in writing, which includes all the components they have learned in the class. Accept responsibility Acknowledge the impact. Express regret. Apologize Make a commitment to change. Offer restitution. Ask for forgiveness
I taught this lesson every year in my Montessori lower elementary class with great success. I have been teaching communication skills and writing in the classroom and to private students for more than 30 years. I'm also a kind, older teacher who understands the value of good manners!
Homework Offered
Students may write an apology letter, or use the provided checklist to practice making a sincere apology in their own lives.Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Students should have their preferred writing utensils and paper available in case there is time to write an apology at the end of class. Parents may want to download the handout for students to reference when they are writing.
These topics are sometimes difficult for sensitive children. I will teach them that they are not alone in making mistakes or doing things they regret. I will help them develop both tools to apologize and realistic expectations around the way their apologies might be received. If they bring up a sensitive situation, I will direct them to discuss it with a trusted adult outside of the class. This is the message I share with children: Apologizing can be hard! No one likes to make a mistake. Admitting you have done something wrong, or that you have hurt or upset someone can feel embarrassing. You might be afraid the other person will still be angry with you, even if you apologize. They might be! You can’t control how someone else responds to your apology, but you can still apologize. Although you can’t force another person to forgive you, if the other person believes you are truly sorry, they are more likely to accept your apology. Offering a sincere apology usually improves things, and it will probably make you feel better.
