After the lesson, the students made “fortune tellers,” choosing questions from a list of categories. Once the fortune tellers were complete, the third graders played the game with their classmates and discussed the questions inside.
“When students are self-aware, they learn to manage their thoughts and emotions, make responsible decisions, develop relationships, and set goals for themselves,” Comiskey said.
