Preschoool Self Esteem, Confidence, and Identity
Spectacular Me Unit
The spectacular me unit focuses on developing positive feelings about children's bodies and personalities.
Activities in the self-concept unit are designed to help children identify themselves as capable and special;
to identify aspects of their bodies, personalities, and abilities about which they feel good;
to be able to express their feelings;
to understand that their feelings are important and that people can feel differently about the very same things.
The unit culminates in the development of a "ME" Book made by each child which can be added to throughout the school year, whenever appropriate.
