Lesson Plan

First Day Friends Lesson Plan

Kindergarteners will introduce themselves, express their first-day feelings, and collaborate on an “All About Us” poster to build classroom connections and a sense of belonging.

Establishing a supportive community on day one helps young learners feel safe, seen, and excited to participate. This group activity promotes emotional expression and peer bonding, setting a positive tone for the school year.
