Lesson Plan

Buddy Builders

Students will build a positive classroom community by learning names, sharing interests through interactive games, collaborating on an activity sheet, and connecting with parents via a take-home letter.

Kindergartners thrive in environments where they feel seen and connected. This lesson fosters empathy, social skills, and a sense of belonging while engaging families.
