Lesson Plan

3rd Grade Kickoff Plan

Students will introduce themselves through a name-tag activity and ball-toss icebreaker, then co-create a simple classroom agreement in a 15-minute session.

Building connections on day one fosters a positive classroom culture, helps students feel seen and secure, and lays the groundwork for respectful routines and cooperation.
