Interview: My Best Self
When we take time to hear from others who see the best in
us, we can focus more on the positive qualities and gifts that
we have! In this social emotional learning activity, your child
will interview a caring adult or friend to ask them when they
have seen them at their best. The interview and reflection
process will help second and third graders build important
traits, such as confidence, self-awareness, and the ability to
recognize their own strengths.
