Lesson Plan
Individual Welcome Back Plan
In this 30-minute one-on-one session, a 4th grader will share feelings about returning to school, set one simple academic and one personal goal, and create a drawing to express hopes and worries.
Starting the year with an emotional check-in and goal-setting builds trust, boosts confidence, and helps students feel supported as they transition back to school.
