• PRACTICE EMPATHY: Kids can practice empathy by learning how to recognize emotional states in others through facial expressions and environment.
• MULTIPLE USES: This set can be used in many settings. It’s a great SEL tool for morning meetings, as part of your overall social-emotional teaching plan, or as a conversation starter.
• KEEP STUDENTS ACCOUNTABLE: When behavior is on public display, students are more willing to go the extra mile to be kind and more respectful to both their teachers and their peers.
• CHARACTER EDUCATION: Learning to recognize the emotional landscape around you is a life skill. Understanding how to deal with emotional upsets in others is an important aspect of character education.
• MOTIVATE THE CLASSROOM: While also teaching and encouraging empathy for others using the behavior jar is a fun way to bring cheer to your classroom and keep students motivated and engaged.
