TIME MANAGEMENT- Being able to identify what we need to do and starting to pinpoint what are mostly
important to be accomplished before doing the things we want or for the enjoyment. Time is the only
constant notification of our day, as a student and a member of the society.
As a grade 3 student who is transitioning into a more independent and having more responsibilities be
expected to be done by our teachers, we may start to feel stress. Here are some tips that could be helpful to
BALANCE our everyday needs and wants where no one will be forgotten, most especially the academic
related responsibilities.
BALANCE- Study life balance means putting enough effort into your academic work while also taking time
to enjoy the social, sporting and cultural aspects of being a student.
Having the sense of responsibility and accomplishments starts at your age. Now, to be able to maintain a
healthy balance study life, building a schedule is important.
Each person’s day-to-day is different and unique to them, so make sure your schedule works for you. Once
you’ve accounted for consistent commitments such as classes or your shifts at work, add in study sessions,
extracurriculars, chores and errands, and social engagements.
Consider your personal rhythm. If you typically start your day energized, plan to study or accomplish chores
then. If you fall into an afternoon slump, give yourself that time to take a guilt-free TV break or see friends.
Having a schedule that works for you will help maximize your time. Plus, knowing exactly when your laundry
day is or when your intramural volleyball practice is every week will help you avoid trying to cram everything
in one day (or running out of clean socks!)

VII. APPLICATION:
Your time is your life.
rather than always depending on our teachers directing every step in the learning, we need to give
ourselves opportunities to break larger projects into smaller tasks and to prioritize multiple tasks
over an extended period of time. This, of course, will need to be adjusted depending upon the age
and our experience as learning students, but all learners can work toward self-managing their time
and tasks. It is also important to provide students with opportunities to reflect on their time
management practices so that they may refine their own personal best practices.
When we develop our students’ time management skills, we not only help them successfully meet
class deadlines, we also help them gain a life skill that will benefit them both personally and
professionally in the years ahead.

VI. DISCUSSION
Do you feel safe in your own home? How about feeling safe in your own CLASSROOM? Do you trust your
classmates and teachers?
FAIRNESS in the classroom not only gives the teacher respect but also gives the students a sense of safeness
and trust within the classroom. Creating an environment that revolves around fairness, trust and respect will
be beneficial to all of the children in the class.
You could show fairness and equality in the classroom by:
Fairness can be easily seen and understand because it is not a lesson you should memorize but a lesson
you should show. Because fairness is a perception based on interpretations of behavior, not intentions,
many instructors may inadvertently engage in what students perceive to be unfair behavior.

I. INTRODUCTION:
Let us first define the word initiative, it means having an opportunity to do something before others, next
let us look at how "self-starter" is defined. As the main topic of the lesson so far is all about starting to be
independent and responsible students for future profession and possible success. Not only do we have
to learn from them, to be able to start the initiative on ourselves.
A self-starter is a person who begins work on his own without needing a lot of instructions and help.
Some kids are naturally independent, while others seem to need more assistance staying on track. But
with the right kind of help, almost all kids can develop initiative and be a self-starter to manage their own
school works and activities.

V. DISCUSSION
What is sense of initiative in children?
Kids who develop initiative are eager to try new activities and experiences without
excessive fear of failure. They learn what they can and cannot control.
When they do make mistakes, they don't feel guilty;
Children are born with great imagination and a strong desire to explore the world. Encourage this
pursuit, help them discover the beauty and wonder of everything that surrounds them. It is with
their own will to explore the world, gain experience and be able to idenitify the right and wrong
through socializing in the classrooom setting. A the student's activity during their 6-10 of age,
produces their sense of initiatives, self-actions to their environment, creative fulfillment and
expression of self, social goodness, prosocial behavior, and establishing healthy connection.
an initiative child:
is any child with a standard or non-potential for action and development, a child with a will for self-
expression and self-affirmation, a child with a real opportunity and need for interactions in the
social environment with the aim of new actions and solutions for overcoming problems.
One of the essential messages of the initiative child is "I will do it, I want to be noticed..."

kids navigate their lives with courage and optimism. Initiative directs our attention toward a
challenging goal and helps us overcome obstacles.

it is advisable for the educator to draw the attention of the children to the understanding that a
person is valuable but is part of a group/society and successful groups are those in which there is
cooperation, assistance, understanding and more.
Encourage your child to make small decisions from an early age, so that this skill becomes an important part
of your child's identity. When making a decision, what are to be considered and why making decisions affects

VI. DISCUSSION
Through Decision Education, students learn how to build their own decision-making process, including
framing the decision, thinking about personal values, seeking multiple options, gathering information, and
predicting outcomes.
Learning decision making skills to make their own choices helps children be more independent, responsible,
and confident. It gives them a sense of control over their lives, reducing anxiety and promoting resilience.
Furthermore, it encourages self-exploration and helps them to solidify their values.
life is just a series of decisions, one right after another, each determining the life that we lead. Sometimes
the decisions are small and inconsequential, like my morning selections. However, sometimes the decisions
are big. They have the power to shape us, such as which college to attend, and the degree to pursue, whom
to marry or where to settle down.
OWNERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY IS WHAT THE DECISION MAKING SHOULD BE BASED ON.

VII. APPLICATION:
One Should Carry Out Every Work Honestly. It Is deciding whether we do and show our best self,
showing our best traits by being responsible of our actions, by believing in our interest and beliefs.
As One have to undergo the Consequences of our Own Activities.
One example of an everyday resiliency is when the teacher graded your project and it was below
the average score. It does make you sad, but after thinking about it and realizing that growth is
what you need, so when the teacher gave you another project to do, you showed your best and
gave it all to get a higher score than before. That is resiliency.

VI. DISCUSSION
Learning to navigate challenges that arise during this important transition period can set students
up for lifelong success. Many students are developing resiliency programming to address elevated
stress levels of students and equip them with the tools they need to face roadblocks.
What is resilience?
Resilience is the ability to withstand, address, adapt and adjust to misfortunes, overcome obstacles,
and to bounce back from perceived failure, disappointment, or rejection. How a student learns to
handle hurdles will have lasting impact in their future careers and relationships.
When facing fear, disappointment and rejection, having a positive outlook offers a better state of
mind to tackle problems and manage anxiety and stress. Introducing positive thinking and
mindfulness in students helps them to learn to tolerate and combat negative emotions for an
effective way to increase overall positivity. Offer meditation classes in-person or online, and
encourage students to come up with positive affirmations to post on a board, wall or virtual feed to
inspire positive thinking.
reference: https://blog.campusgroups.com/campusgroups
VII.APPLICATION:
Working together can make tackling a challenge fun, enriching and rewarding, and helps students
better understand how to approach and solve problems logically, with patience, pragmatism and
persistence. This will help teach students how to anticipate and effectively deal with difficult
situations they encounter.
How is resilience important for students?
Being resilient gives them the ability to tackle these head-on, bounce back from any setbacks and
have the best chance at succeeding. It allows them to learn and grow in all situations – two skills
that are crucial to wellbeing and development.

VI. DISCUSSION
People can be motivated by many things, as a student, they can be motivated by good grades,
having friends in the classroom, eating foods in the cafeteria and being able to buy new things for
school. It can be both internal or self-motivation and external or caused by others. It can be a desire
to do something, love of someone, or of what is needed at the moment. Usually, motivation is a
result of several factors.

VII. APPLICATION:
One Step at a Time…
Becoming self-motivated, or even just improving your self-motivation a little, will not happen
overnight.
There are many skills involved, and you cannot expect to develop them all instantly. However, a
better understanding of the elements of motivation, and particularly how they fit together, should
help to increase your skills. Just remember, A beautiful painting was not painted in just a day: think
about making progress over a long period of time and in small steps, you will be a beautiful piece of
artwork.
I. INTRODUCTION:
This is ME! But why do you have to value your own self?
You value yourself when you believe that you are worthy of respect, love, and well-being. Self-value is
different than selfishness or self-absorption. As the new school year starts, and having a new year and a new
opportunity to grow, learn and achieved more achievements, it is with confidence that we must understand

VI. DISCUSSION
Self-esteem is how much people value themselves and how important they believe they are in their world in
a healthy manner. You might hear people talk about the importance of self-esteem in kids, and “positive self-
esteem” in particular. But what exactly is it? And why does it matter so much?
On the first day of school, we experience anxiety and agitation in the classroom. We may only recognize a
few people, yet it still feels unfamiliar and could make us uneasy for a while. And it is normal to experience
those feelings, particularly when we are still getting used to our new environment.
Being able to say, “I LIKE MYSELF” and showing it to others by making them feel loved and them being able
to say “I LIKE MYSELF TOO”.

When people understand themselves better, it’s easier for them to build positive self-esteem. That's
especially important for people who learn and think differently and who struggle with certain skills and tasks.
Self-awareness gives them a way to look not just at their challenges, but also to see what they’re good at.

VII. APPLICATION:
"To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom." To find growth on self and independently handle
situations that are understandable to self can make you a wise and positive student.
The famous quote is often attributed to Socrates. But what exactly do you know when you “know
yourself?”. As we grow older, we’re able to identify who we are by knowing what we like in food,
clothing, things to do, colors or even in a person. And the things we don’t like that may trigger our
sadness, anger, and hatred. This emotions and life experiences makes us self-aware.

Different Thinking and Learning abilities
Facing more academic challenges at school.
Becoming more independent from the family.
Beginning to see the point of view of others more clearly.
Having an increased in their attention span.
Children are at the stage of their lives as a grade 3 students where they will be learning to read and
write, to do sums and choosing being options, to do things on their own. Teachers begin to take an
important role in the child’s life as they teach the child specific skills. Letting them understand what
they lack and what they must follow to fully understand the norms of being a student and in the
stage of their middle childhood.
Here are some examples of weaknesses you can learn to take care of and be transformed as your
own strength:
Examples of Emotional Examples Examples of Social Examples of Intellectual
Weaknesses Behavioural Weaknesses & Weaknesses & Logic
Weaknesses Communication Strengths (Cognitive
Weaknesses Weaknesses)

level, it is now the intellectual and their wisdom in life that must be developed in order to become
fully aware of their surroundings that helps build and form who they are in school, home and in
public.

VII. APPLICATION:
If children are encouraged and reinforced for their initiative, they begin to feel industrious
(competent) and feel confident in their ability to achieve goals. If this initiative is not encouraged, if
it is restricted by parents or teacher, then the child begins to feel inferiour, doubting his own
abilities and therefore may not reach his or her potential.
If the child cannot develop the specific skill they feel society is demanding (e.g., being athletic) then
they may develop a sense of Inferiority.
Some failure may be necessary so that the child can develop some modesty. Again, a balance
between competence and modesty is necessary. Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of
competence.
I CAN BE BETTER!
I. INTRODUCTION:
Let show the students how to become the best version of themselves. If a student would like to know more
about how he can improve himself/herself, they will be able to show confidence and always show both of

VI. DISCUSSION
Giving tips and strategies will not be enough, they still have to know how it is effective and why it is
necessary for their future self. Personal development is an umbrella term that refers to self-directed efforts
that help students learn, grow, and improve. Through personal development activities, coping mechanisms
and strategies for self-improvement and their own example, they can help themselves to appreciate the idea
that anything worth having is worth working towards - which includes becoming a better, well-rounded
person in the future.
Goal Setting
To reach your own full potential, students need to learn how to set goals. Learning how to plan for the future
is an important skill that can help kids stay motivated. Parents can work with their kids to brainstorm
possible goals that they would like to achieve.
When students learn to how be goal-oriented, they learn to take responsibility for their personal
development and align their actions with their goals. Moreover, they experience and grow to love the sense
of fulfillment that comes with achieving a goal.
reference: https://www.roliedema.com/personal-development-for-kids.html
A. APPLICATION:
The goal will depend on the child. If they already excel at something that they want to focus even more on,
the big audacious goal would be to push their talents further than what they currently think is possible. Help
brainstorm ideas with your child and even come up with an audacious goal of your own this year.
Working a little bit every day on something will have a much bigger impact than working one full day every
couple of weeks. It is too easy sometimes to always think about what you need to do to do better, but it is
also important to pat yourself on the back for the small wins you have each week. Think about how your life
will be different when you accomplish your goal.

DISCUSSION
Helping your child to develop successful reading strategies is one of the greatest gifts you can give them.
Effective reading skills give your child access to wonderful new worlds.
JUST A RECAP:
What are the benefits of reading?
some of them:
1. Enhanced brain activity
Unlike watching television or streamed entertainment, reading requires focus, imagination and
understanding. This encourages student to be engaged. It stimulates more brain regions than passive forms
2. Improved vocabulary
By exposing students to new words, reading can expand vocabulary and knowledge for life experience. This
has been shown in research, such as this 2015 study which found that reading-related activities were the
primary cause of vocabulary growth from grades four to ten.
Reading is Essential and serves as a basic building block for learning, regardless of the school subject, be it
language arts or even math. In daily life, the need to read things such as street signs or prescriptions proves
reading is also an important life skill. Reading Strengthens the Brain and improves memory.

versions of ourselves. “The journey itself is my home,”
READING IS HEALING.
I. INTRODUCTION:
Last year, you were given a chance to read, understand its importance and its effect on our emotional and
expressive wellbeing. Studies show that reading can help kids build developmental skills of emotional
intelligence and empathy, enabling our young readers to better connect with other perspectives and human
experiences. This does not mean reading everyday and/or regularly but being able to read artistically made
stories, life experiences or diaries of an influential person can make a person empathic and emotionally
aware.
III. LOCATION:
Library
V. PROCESSING QUESTIONS:
1. Who is the story was the book all about?
2. Write a short summarization of the story
3. How can you relate your life to the character of the story?
VI. DISCUSSION
Research shows that life time exposure to reading increases a person’s cognitive empathy, which is
understanding the world from another person’s point of view. A short-term experience of reading will impact
affective empathy, which is the capacity to share another’s feelings (Stansfield & Bunce, 2014).
VII. APPLICATION:
researchers at the New School in New York City “found evidence that literary fiction improves a
reader’s capacity to understand what others are thinking and feeling.” The article further argues
that literary fiction can “support and teach us values about social behavior, such as the importance
of understanding those who are different from ourselves.”
The results of this study suggest that readers have greater emotional intelligence and empathy,
meaning they can better put themselves in someone else’s shoes.

I. INTRODUCTION:
What does academic creativity mean?
Academic creativity is a way of thinking about, learning, and producing information in school subjects such as
science, mathematics, and history. As reading a story or seeing a new experience/ new world from reading,
they can run their creative motors and be able to use their personal learning into their own strength and way

Students are most motivated to learn when certain factors are present: They’re able to tie their learning to
their personal interests, they have a sense of autonomy and control over their task, and they feel competent
in the work they’re doing. Creative projects can easily meet all three conditions.

VII.APPLICATION:
By introducing a more creative approach to our classrooms we can help to equip children with skills
fit for their future. Rather than just focusing on retaining information more creativity in the
classroom will help to spark children's natural curiosity and develop an approach of self-learning to
engage and inspire each individual child. As having creativity as a skills, it covers the 5 areas of

A. APPLICATION:
During elementary school, children develop an awareness of the world around them and who they are in
relation to others. By sharing what they are good at, what they enjoy doing, and – more often than not –
what they want to be when they grow up, students develop decision making and teamwork skills.
When school districts transform the elementary classrooms by linking science projects to real life careers,
students develop critical thinking skills by looking at the world through problem-solving and innovative lens.
When educators Involve their students in real-world examples of decision-making and talk to them about
how their decisions impact other people.
NAME: ____________________________________________________________
As kids learn how to communicate their needs and express their emotions, they will also learn how to ask for
help when they need it. Be sure to remind them that sometimes you have to ask for help too!
VI. APPLICATION:
When we notice we need help it is usually because we have taken on too much, or life has become too busy
for whatever reason. Noticing this is actually our brain and body sending messages for self preservation, to
keep us safe. By asking for help and accepting assistance it protects us from burn out, from being
overwhelmed and ensures our mental wellness.
We are social beings and we require connection to be happy and experience well-being. Asking for help
builds connections by allowing others to share their information and resources and this in turn shows people
that you trust their ideas, feel competent in their skills, and appreciate their advice.

V.PROCESSING QUESTIONS:
1. Why do you have to be thankful to people around you that helps you?
2. How does it feel saying thank you to your teacher?
3. Does hearing thank you from other people makes you feel good? Why?
DISCUSSION
Increased self-esteem
Reduced stress and depression
Increased optimism and happiness
Lower aggression
Less stress, worry, and pain
Additionally, science shows that having an attitude of gratitude actually increases our body’s ability to
recover from sickness and trauma, improves our physical health and mental wellbeing overall, supports self-
esteem, enhances empathy, encourages compassion, improves sleep, and (as you can imagine), improves our
relationships with other people! There is nothing quite like that feeling when a loved one says, “I appreciate
you!”
As with anything else of value in our lives, appreciation must be practiced. As we teach students the
importance of feeling thankful for the good things and wonderful people in our lives, we must also help them
practice expressing that gratitude.
reference: https://anikabooks.com/teaching-your-child-the-importance-of-gratitude/
A. APPLICATION:
Gratitude is not just about saying ‘thank you’. It’s about understanding the importance of being
thankful. It’s something that students can show their teachers, parents and anyone who have truly
helped them. But isn’t easy to lecture them on. Practicing gratitude will teach students empathy
and compassion. They can fully feel themselves in the moment and will be more comfortable taking
the time to appreciate the good things in their lives. The appreciation that they learn will help them
grow into successful, happy, adults. And in the future, this will make them have a good relationship
with different people, feel confident about themselves, less stress and can handle situations
positively.
TRUE COLORS.
I. INTRODUCTION:
Being truthful requires the value of honesty and it involves trust for both ways. The major component for
developing moral character is Honesty specially when you're a part of a big group or classroom. Honesty
helps in developing good attributes like kindness, discipline, truthfulness, moral integrity and more. Lying,
cheating, lack of trust, steal, greed and other immoral attributes have no part in Honesty.

IV. ACTIVITY:
Instructions:
1. With the provided sheet for the student to answer, they will be instructed to provide
drawings or words of their answer to the question.
2. Write an OATH or statement where they will put where and when they will be honest and be
truthful at all times.
3. They may add art, creativity and color to their answers. They are given freedom to express
themselves.
4. They are given at least 20 minutes or so.
5. After the activity, they may present it to the class or in a group.
V. PROCESSING QUESTIONS:
What is honesty?
How important is truthfulness to self and to others?
What will happen if you lie or did not tell the truth in the classroom, at home or to
others?
Why do you have to express what you feel?
Name: _________________________________________
MY TRUTH PLEDGE
TRUTHFULNESS is being true to yourself and having your actions, words and thoughts are being centered to
the truth.
HONESTY is showing the truth to others and the importance of justice between your relationship with others.
The two are not quite the same thing, although they are closely linked. Shakespeare, for example, suggested
that someone who was true to themselves was unlikely to be false to others.
Truthful people will:
Understand themselves, and know their own strengths and weaknesses. They will not delude
themselves about their successes or failures;
Present themselves in a way that shows who they really are. Their reputation will be founded on
what they are and, whether in public or private, they will be the same;
Meet any commitments or promises that they make;
Be accurate in their descriptions of themselves or others, so that they do not mislead others.
reference: https://www.skillsyouneed.com/ps/truthfulness.html
VI. APPLICATION:
It is important to live and act in line with your values.
It is hard for us to act on actions and words that are not true. Because the truth is the guide and
just like a map, it leads us to not be lost. When we lie, we are led far from where we should go and
our life will be described as dark and it is harder for us to live.
Being truthful to yourself matters because you cannot live in line with your good values if you are
pretending to yourself that you are something else.
Truthfulness allows you to be honest about yourself to yourself, and to others, and to live a life
which reflects that.

IV. ACTIVITY:
1. It is important that the students will be able to EXPRESS and understand not only hear about
the lessons they are thought. It helps them to know its importance and effect when they
have experienced or have shown it.
2. Make sure to settle the students down. Now, partner the students into 2-3 (depends on
what the teacher prefers).
3. They are asked to act the scenarios or their understanding of RESPECT or FOLLOWING OF
RULES in these events or scenarios.
Respect 3 Ways:
Respect Others (behavior towards teacher and classmates)
Respect Materials (Acting safely with tools, items and materials in the classroom)
Respect Self (Put forth full effort, Asking for help when needed)
“The Big 3”
Respect (For self, teachers, students, materials)
Safety (Following procedures, with tools, with self)
Effort (Focusing on work, asking for help, trying your best)
“R-E-A-D”
Respect (Obviously a very common and necessary rule inside the classroom!)
1. They are given 10-20 minutes to practice and finish their work.
2. Then after, each group will present their practiced scene or scenario to the whole class.
V. PROCESSING QUESTIONS:
1. Why are rules in every scenario depicts is important?
2. Why do we have to understand how important honesty and discipline inside the classroom?
3. What will happen when someone disobeys the rules? Why?
VI. DISCUSSION
Self-control refers to your ability to manage your behavior in order to achieve goals, improve positive
outcomes, and avoid negative consequences.
Psychologists typically define self-control as:
The ability to control behaviors to avoid temptations and achieve goals
The ability to delay gratification and resist unwanted behaviors or urges
A limited resource that can be depleted
Classroom rules are the foundation for a functional and successful classroom in any setting. Rules vary from
procedures as they determine what the classroom looks like, what type of behavior is acceptable and
encouraged, and help students work towards a common goal. In other words, they set the tone.
If there are no rules and everyone is free to do whatever they want, most people will probably behave
selfishly. We need rules to help us get a long together and show respect to each other.
For example in schools, if a student ignores rule against talking in class, the teacher will not be able to
achieve his goal to teach and other students can't concentrate. Drivers who don't follow traffic laws can
cause serious accidents. Doctors, engineers, farmers, everyone in the society must behave under rules. Most
things we do are governed by rules which may be unwritten like the rules of social politeness and back up by
the legal system.
All the rules and regualtions does not only restrain a person but it guides and giverns for the BENEFIT OF ALL.
They have the same purpose. They organized the relations between individuals and the society to make it
clear what is right and wrong and what happens if someone breaks the rules. They are designed to ensure
fairness, safety and respect for other people's right.
Most of us are basically honest, and knowing the rules means that we usually try to follow them. One reason
we do is to avoid punishment, but the strongest argument for following the rules is to make the world
peaceful and fair.

A. APPLICATION:
It is extremely important to plan out what classroom rules and procedures are to be used in the hospital
classroom. In these alternative class settings, procedures will likely be more limited, due to shortened class
times (typically 1-2 hours a day). However, they remain just as important as in the school setting.
Students find comfort in routine and consistent implementation, and having established classroom
procedures helps new school-aged patients integrate into that routine. Procedures should prioritize safety
and academic work above all else in the hospital classroom.
Impulse control refers to the ability to manage urges and impulses. People who struggle with impulse
control may act first without thinking about the consequences of their actions. Just like doing your
homework first or listening to your parent’s command before playing or do what you want is an example of
self-control.

for events and scenarios). Each student or 2 students will get the same scenario where
they will provide the next thing that will happen after.
They will write what will be the consequence of the effect of their decision based in the given
scenario. They will write on the next paper what will happen after the effects. Look for the example
below:
EXAMPLE:
Studying for an exam >>Having good grades >> My parents will be proud of me >> I will be
awarded in school >> My teachers will see me as a responsible student >> I will learn new things
more >> I can be whoever I want to be when I grow up >> I will be happy if I have good grades.
4. They are given at least 30 minutes or so. After the activity, they may present it to the class
or in a group.
V. PROCESSING QUESTIONS:
1. Why do you have to think before we act?
2. What are the things you should prioritize first as a student?
3. How will you be a good and happy student or human being? Why?
4. Why do you have to think before we act?
VI. DISCUSSION
to wait before getting what you want, is an important part of self-control.
People are often able to control their behavior by delaying the gratification of their urges.
Teaching self control to kids can have many benefits, such as increasing their mental and physical health,
improving relationships, and helping them to be better members of society.
Like any skill, self control must be taught and practiced. Of course, it comes more easily to some children, but
we can’t expect students to automatically be able to control their feelings, actions and words.

A. APPLICATION:
Self-control is part of a group of skills that allow kids and adults to manage their thoughts, actions,
and emotions so they can get things done. Experts call this group of skills executive function.
HAPPINESS IS HELPING
I. INTRODUCTION:
A good group member, or at school, inside the classroom, makes it peaceful by BEHAVIORAL CONTROL,
HONESTY, and UNDERSTANDING the feelings of others.
When classroom setting is involved, it is impossible for the students to not talk with each other, or not notice
each one. Students talk with each other when they have to ask for something, if they need help, or the
teacher instructed them to do. In the level of grade 3 students, it is normal for them to befriend all and see
their good match of friends. Yet, as our religion and the teaching of the church involves that helping has no
option but it is for all who needed it.
III. MATERIALS:

V. PROCESSING QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have an idea what compassion means?
2. Why do you have to show compassion to your classmates, family members, elders and
others?
3. How can you show compassion and understanding to others?
4. What is the difference between understanding and compassion?
VI. DISCUSSION
Compassion is to feel another person's pain and wanting to help take away their suffering. The term
"compassion" comes from Latin and meaning "to suffer together." Just like a friend, you are being a
companion through all your friends and family’s sufferings.
It is not only limited from understanding what others feel, why they feel it and the reason how they act that
way, but through DOING WHAT IS NEEDED TO HELP AND GIVE AID.
Fostering a culture of kindness enhances the connections made peer-to-peer and student to teacher. Carving
out time to intentionally promote kindness cultivates empathy and understanding between individuals,
leading to deeper relationships.
“Classrooms can be the safe haven where academic practices and classroom strategies provide students with
emotional comfort and pleasure as well as knowledge. When teachers use strategies to reduce stress and
build a positive emotional environment, students gain emotional resilience and learn more efficiently and at
higher levels of cognition. Brain-imaging studies support this relationship.”

VII. APPLICATION:
Kindness increases a positive outlook, so children have greater attention spans, are more willing to
learn, and are better creative thinkers with better results at school. Being kind has many physical
and mental health benefits, including increased happiness and reduction of stress.

VI. DISCUSSION
Learning to cooperate means that a person can think about and balance their own needs and wants with
another person’s needs and wants. Many people think that cooperation means the child does what the adult
wants. That’s not the case. True cooperation is a give and take between people that ends up with something
they both agree on. As children observe what adults do when they’re in public, how they participate with
others and socialize with others. It is important for a child to communicate its feeling to others properly and
be able to cooperate to their peers and classroom settings.
Cooperation is a skill that must be learned. Here are some things you can do with the children in your care to
help them learn the skill of cooperation.
What are some ways that you can learn cooperation at school? These are teaching behaviors that will
ultimately help in understanding how to cooperate and what cooperation means.
Listen carefully to others so you can understand what they are saying.
Share or take turns when more than one person wants the same thing.
Compromise when you have a serious conflict.
Do your part of a shared task and do the very best that you can.
Show appreciation to people for what they contribute to a group or team.
Encourage others to do their best.
Include everyone and make everyone feel needed. Help your child recognize that everybody has
something valuable to offer in a group.
Cooperation demonstrates the ability to work effectively and respectfully with diverse people or teams,
make compromises, build a unanimous in decision-making, assume shared responsibility for collaborative
work, and value the opinions and contributions of individual team members, from a position of firm self-
identity.

PAPER
Both their daughters will now go to school that is a well-established school. The Father now took
a mechanic job in a big company while the mother joined as a tailor in a clothing company. As
the days passed, the workload for both father and mother increased and becomes heavy and
hard for them.
In their father’s company, some of the co-workers’ work was given to him since they use the
power of being in the company longer than him and him being a newbie and outsider.
On the mother’s side, her company forces her to work overtime to increase the clothes made and
her output.
Meanwhile, the students in their daughter’s class started teasing them. They complained to their
parents about that.
Then mother asked him, “We are also facing a similar situation in our work. What do we have to
do?” He replied, “For us right now, we have to give our daughters proper education, give them a
good life and improve our financial situation. So, we need to manage this stress and hardships we
are experiencing as parents and use it as a ladder in our life. We have to be resilient in difficult
situations to bounce back”.
As the years passed, all of them excelled and became successful in their own different career. As a
family, they were happy and financially stable.
The elder daughter becomes a Doctor, and the Younger one becomes a Pilot. Father is now the
manager of one of the mechanic department and the Union leader.
Mother is now a supervisor in her company.
They experienced adversity, stress, threats, health problems, and financial problems throughout
their life. But collectively, as a family, they faced each situation with resilient behaviors, thoughts,
and actions that helped them grow and achieve their dreams.
Moral of the story: Life is full of twists and turns, and every day it gives us challenges. It affects
each one of us differently. But we can manage them comfortably if we are resilient.
Resilience is not something extraordinary we cannot learn. We can learn over time by facing
challenging situations and bouncing back. It empowers You to grow and improve your life.
V. PROCESSING QUESTIONS:
What are the challenges each of the members’ experience?
What did they do to get through all their problems?
What was the result they get from being resilient?
DISCUSSION
Resilience is the ability to bounce back after challenges and tough times. Resilient children can
recover from setbacks and get back to living life. Resilience develops when children experience
challenges and learn to deal with them positively. Strong relationships are the foundation of
children's resilience.
For children, challenges and tough times include experiences like starting at a new school or moving
up a level in school, moving house, or welcoming a sibling into the family. They can also include
serious experiences like being namecalled, family breakdown, family illness or death.
Children build resilience over time through their life experience everyday in classroom and at home.
Children who are resilient can recover from setbacks and get back to living their lives more quickly,
accepting all their feelings and learn from it. And when children overcome setbacks and problems, it
builds their confidence and helps them feel more capable the next time a problem comes up.
Resilient children are often good at solving problems and learning new skills. This is because they’re
more willing to try again even if things don’t go the way they want the first time.
And when things don’t go well and children feel anxious, sad, disappointed, afraid or frustrated,
resilience helps them understand that these uncomfortable emotions usually don’t last forever.
They can experience these emotions and know they’ll be OK before too long.
Resilient children are less likely to avoid problems or deal with them in unhealthy ways, like getting
defensive or aggressive or intentionally hurting themselves. Resilient children are also likely to have
better physical and mental health than children who struggle to be resilient.

VI. APPLICATION:
Children learn resilience through experience. Each time your child overcomes a problem, it builds
their confidence in their ability to handle the next challenge.
Providing them Help to identify and manage strong emotions. For example, they might be worried
about a family member who’s sick. Assurance and honest with the situation can help them
understand and be able to learn from it.
Teachers can be democratic leaders of the classroom by giving students the chance to actively participate in
every lesson. Students need not just be mere listeners to what the teacher explains. The teacher can ask for
students to give their views and experiences on every topic that they have to study.

4. They can design the paper if they want and add styles.
5. Give them at least 20 minutes for the activity.
6. Then after drawing, the students can share their drawing through partners, or in front of the
class.
VI. DISCUSSION
Student leadership means students take active roles in their education and develop positive skills in the
process. The goal of inspiring student leaders is to create a culture of ownership, collaboration and
community in the classroom. Student leadership development helps create skills that the students can carry
over to adulthood.
Under being a responsible student is having the initiative or to be able to move without anyone telling you to
do something. You on your own, will act before others so. This could show a successful leader or even a
normal student who is also a leader of self.
Successful leaders do not wait for someone to tell them what to do. They think on their feet and take
appropriate action, are proactive rather than reactive, and appear flexible, confident and courageous.
In the classroom, teachers can foster student leadership qualities through a process called Project-Based
Learning or PBL. The Buck Institute for Education explained Project-Based Learning is a teaching process in
which students learn through hands-on work on a project that addresses a complex question or challenge
over a period of time. Cultivating a passion in students is a great way to bring out their innate leadership
qualities. Project-Based Learning activities should be meaningful to the students and the community so
classes can see the true effects of their hard work.

A. APPLICATION:
Giving students ownership of their education and true responsibility of all their actions helps build
accountable, confident individuals. It also provides them with marketable skills that they can apply to future
endeavors. As the year will nearly end, it is important to see GROWTH AND IMPROVEMENT from the
students. Student leadership in the classroom and help students develop skills they might not have
otherwise had the opportunity to grow.
