Lesson Plan

Social Skills Syllabus

Over three 50-minute sessions, students will practice turn-taking, maintain eye contact, and use conversation starters through interactive activities to build inclusive peer relationships.

Developing these core social skills supports positive interactions, reduces misunderstandings, and fosters an inclusive classroom environment where all fourth graders can connect confidently.
