The Cs curriculum is an excellent approach to your subject matter all year. Start with this program and expand on what students have learned through all your units. You don't have to include all 3Cs with every unit. Have students work in pairs or small groups to create a podcast using Pinecast, reviewed here about something they want to know more about in your curriculum. Creating a podcast about something they want to know more about fosters inquiry. Working in small groups encourages communication, and through both, students should begin to feel courage about their research skills and interacting with others.

Discover a collection of videos and activities to help children navigate challenging situations. Featuring characters like Daniel Tiger and Arthur, the content emphasizes the importance of having a plan, expressing emotions, and recognizing helpers in the community. Accompanying activities, such as drawing feelings and preparing emergency kits, provide practical tools for classroom discussions on coping strategies and resilience.

In the Classroom
After watching a video, students can identify different emotions characters experienced and match them to a classroom feelings chart. They can also share times they felt similar emotions. Using an activity from the PBS KIDS page, students can draw a picture of what fear or nervousness looks like to them and then discuss ways to feel better in those situations. Students can then brainstorm and list people in their community (such as teachers, firefighters, and family members) who help in scary situations. They can create thank-you cards or posters to show appreciation to these helpers. As a class, create a simple plan for what to do in an emergency (fire drill, storm, getting lost). Students can also draw or write about their safety plans at home. Students can bring in or draw something that helps them feel safe (such as a stuffed animal, a blanket, or a song) and explain why it is comforting to them. This encourages self-awareness and coping strategies.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Infuse your music or language arts classroom with cultural and poetic exploration through "Guantanamera: A Poem and a Song," a Kennedy Center lesson that invites students to research and analyze the iconic Cuban folk song made famous in English by Pete Seeger. Students delve into the origins of the song's lyrics, rooted in Jose Marti's poetry, and investigate its musical structure, cultural significance, and global adaptations. They then compare different performances to understand how meaning shifts through interpretation. The unit concludes with students crafting their own lyrical or musical version of "Guantanamera," demonstrating their grasp of poetic themes, musical elements, and cultural resonance. This lesson package includes research guides, lyric analysis tools, listening prompts, performance comparisons, and creative assignment outlines to support both analytical and expressive learning. If your district blocks YouTube, then the videos may not be viewable.
In the Classroom
Have students read and analyze selected stanzas from Jose Marti's poetry used in the lyrics of "Guantanamera," identifying key themes such as freedom, justice, and identity. Play different versions of "Guantanamera" (e.g., Pete Seeger, Celia Cruz, Cuban folk renditions) and have students compare how tempo, instrumentation, and vocal delivery affect the message and mood. Assign students to choose a poem and adapt it into lyrics for a folk song, reflecting how Marti's poetry became part of Cuban musical tradition.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
