taught this last sunday.
hope the meaning of compassion has been well engrained into the minds of my beloved students.
planning for this lesson was itself a challenge; compassion is hard to teach let alone teaching it to 5-6 year olds. i wanted to teach it in a way they can best relate to! how can i help them understand this intangible virtue?
after brainstorming numerous ideas, choices got narrowed down to 2 activities:
1. show video of a 3-year old boy who expressed compassion by making sandwiches for the homeless and by delivering them with his dad; and
2. ask them to help wrap gifts to be distributed out to less fortunate kids.
not sure how much my 8 students will retain from the above but may they continue to learn the importance of being compassionate.
