Differentiation Tips:
– Beginning Learners: Simplify the activity by focusing on one good deed, such as baking cookies only with adult support.
– Developing Learners: Encourage children to participate in all steps of the chosen good deed with light guidance from adults.
– Mastered Learners: Challenge children to come up with their own ideas for good deeds and plan them independently or in small groups.

Suggestions for Assessment:
– Observe children’s participation and engagement during the activity.
– Ask children to share their feelings about helping others before and after completing the good deeds.
– Use drawings or verbal explanations to assess understanding of what a good deed is and why it is important.
