K.1 - Sense of Self

From EngageNY

Children’s sense of self is shaped by experiences that are unique to them and their families, and by common experiences shared by a community or nation.

K.1a
A sense of self is developed through physical and cultural characteristics and through the development of personal likes, dislikes, talents, and skills.
K.1b Personal experiences shape our sense of self and help us understand our likes, dislikes, talents, and skills, as well as our connections to others.
  • Students will create A BOOK ABOUT ME that includes information about their gender, race/ethnicity, family members, likes and dislikes, talents, and skills.
