Lesson goals

• I can describe myself using positive language..

Me in Three Words! Choose three words to describe yourself and explain how they connect to your identity or groups.

Values can refer to a person’s principles or standards of behavior; their judgment of what is important in life. Values can refer to the importance placed on something by a society or cultural group.

Do you remember your Me in Three from last unit? What qualities did you add to it?

Today, we’re going to think about what makes us great learners! Everyone has different strengths and qualities that help them succeed. Knowing what you’re good at and what you enjoy can make learning easier and more fun. When we recognize our strengths, we can use them to help us in our work and challenges. Let’s start by thinking about some of the positive qualities that make each of us unique as learners.

After you are done writing you can share if you want and feel comfortable. Everyone needs to upload pictures of their writing to Seesaw though!

• What’s one thing you find challenging in school? How could you try to help yourself with it? How can you be kind to yourself about it?
• What’s something you want to get better at in school? What’s one small step you can take to improve?

• What is one thing you like about yourself, and how does it help you in your life?
• What is something you’re proud of doing recently in school? What personal strengths or qualities helped you achieve it?

Choose one journal prompt from each box to write about!
