1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. For their homework, students will write about a time they feel proud of themselves, describing what happens, how they feel, and why it makes them proud. This week, students will practice self-love by choosing one self-care activity, such as taking a walk, reading a book, or spending time with loved ones. They will reflect on how this activity makes them feel and any positive effects it has on their well-being. Next week, students will have a conversation with a trusted person about their experience with self-love and the story of when they feel proud of themselves. They will discuss their progress and share any insights or challenges they encounter, continuing their journey of self-love and acceptance.Class Experience

****************************************** COURSE DESCRIPTION ****************************************** In this class, students will explore what self-love is and how to embrace themselves fully. This engaging class teaches kids how to treat themselves with kindness, set healthy boundaries, and recognize their worth, separate from achievements or others' opinions. The class begins with a creative icebreaker where students write kind notes to themselves, setting a positive tone for the session. They will then define self-acceptance and discover practical ways to develop it through various interactive exercises. Additionally, they will be guided to write about things they have accepted and are learning to accept about themselves. By the end of the class, each student will be empowered to stand up against disrespect or mistreatment, prioritizing their mental health and well-being. This interactive and fun class will be conducted on Nearpod, and each student will receive a workbook to use throughout the course. This course promises to be a meaningful experience that supports children in building a positive self-image and strong sense of self-worth. ****************************************** REQUIREMENTS ****************************************** For the best virtual class experience, we recommend using two devices simultaneously: one for Zoom and the other for Nearpod.
