The Exploring Feelings unit focuses on teaching students in Kindergarten how to identify and understand the feelings they experience each and every day. Students then take what they have learned about their own feelings and apply this knowledge to learning more about the feelings of others. “Tuning into feelings” in oneself and in others, considering others’ points of view, and demonstrating solidarity, are all important parts of developing emotional literacy and essential in future learnings about empathy. As with anything, students can grow and develop their brain to understand and show empathy.
