Lesson: Heartfelt Friends
Grade 2 | 20 Minutes
1. Introduction & Pre-Test (0-5 min)
"Good morning, friends! I am so happy to be here with you today. We are going to talk about something very special: friendship. What makes someone a good friend?"
"¡Buenos días, amigos! Estoy muy feliz de estar aquí con ustedes. Hoy vamos a hablar de algo muy especial: la amistad. ¿Qué hace que alguien sea un buen amigo?"
[Wait for 2-3 responses / Espere 2-3 respuestas]
"Those are great answers! Before we start our lesson, I want to see what you already know. Please take your 'Friendship Check' paper and answer the two questions for the Pre-Test. I will read them aloud."
"¡Esas son respuestas geniales! Antes de empezar, quiero ver qué saben ya. Por favor, tomen su papel y respondan las dos preguntas de la Pre-prueba. Las leeré en voz alta."
2. Core Content & Book (5-15 min)
"Today we are inspired by the book A Friend Like You . This book shows us that being a 'Heartfelt Friend' means being kind, listening, and showing respect even when we are different."
"Hoy nos inspiramos en el libro Un amigo como tú . Este libro nos enseña que ser un 'Amigo de Corazón' significa ser amable, escuchar y mostrar respeto incluso cuando somos diferentes."
[Slide 3: Healthy vs. Unhealthy]
"Look at the screen. Healthy friends help our hearts grow. They listen and use kind words. But unhealthy behaviors, like bossing others around or ignoring them, can hurt our friends' hearts."
"Miren la pantalla. Los amigos saludables ayudan a que nuestro corazón crezca. Ellos escuchan y usan palabras amables. Pero los comportamientos no saludables, como mandar a otros o ignorarlos, pueden lastimar el corazón de nuestros amigos."
3. Scenario Lab (15-17 min)
"Now, let's practice! On your worksheet, you see a picture of a friend sitting alone on a bench. What is the heartfelt choice? Write or draw what you would say to them."
"¡Ahora, a practicar! En su hoja, ven a un amigo sentado solo en un banco. ¿Cuál es la opción de corazón? Escriban o dibujen lo que le dirían."
4. Summary & Post-Test (17-20 min)
"We learned so much today! Remember: respect is the foundation. If a friend says 'No' to a hug, we respect their space. That is being a great friend."
"¡Aprendimos mucho hoy! Recuerden: el respeto es la base. Si un amigo dice 'No' a un abrazo, respetamos su espacio. Eso es ser un gran amigo."
"To finish, please answer the same 2 questions one last time on the Post-Test side. I want to see how much you learned! Thank you for being such heartfelt friends today."
