Lesson Plan

Crew Connection Lesson Plan

Students will build a positive classroom community by practicing cooperation, respect, and empathy through interactive name games, a compliment-toss activity, and co-creating a crew promise.

A strong sense of belonging on day one boosts students’ confidence, encourages peer support, and lays the groundwork for respectful, empathetic classroom interactions all year.
