Lesson Plan

Dashboard Creation Plan

Students will co-design a visible classroom dashboard to track daily tasks, moods, and self-management goals, then practice using personal mini-trackers to build self-regulation habits.

Making self-management tangible helps 2nd graders understand and monitor their emotions and tasks. This shared dashboard fosters ownership, collaboration, and consistent reflection.

Dashboard Examples Gallery

Introduce this gallery to students. Encourage them to observe shapes, colors, and layout. Ask them to think about what they like and why.

Example 1: Task Tracker

Point out the rows, columns, and checkboxes. Ask volunteers: “Why do you think they used stars or checkmarks here?”

Example 2: Mood & Emotions

Highlight how colors and faces convey feelings. Invite students to share a time they felt each emotion.

Example 3: Self-Management Goals

Draw attention to progress bars or stickers. Ask: “What goals could we include on our dashboard?”

Thinking About Our Dashboard

Use this as a transition to the brainstorming activity. Remind students to reference examples they liked.
