Lesson Plan

Kickstart Connections Lesson Plan

Students will build a supportive classroom community, set clear daily intentions, and practice social-emotional check-ins through a structured 30-minute morning meeting.

Starting the day with connection and self-awareness fosters a positive climate, strengthens peer relationships, and primes students for focused learning. Regular check-ins support emotional regulation and a sense of belonging.
