Not myself today 1

A mental health & well being lesson plan for grades k-4 is provided. This lesson uses the concept of an ‘invisible sack’ to encourage students to pay attention to their own mental health and well-being and encourages students to have positive attitudes and behaviours toward those living with mental health issues or illnesses. Students will also discuss emotions and multiple ways of supporting others and of being accepting of everyone. The lesson is built to be 30 minutes or longer, and requires canned goods (one per student).
