Lesson Plan

First Week Friends Lesson Plan

Students will practice and demonstrate key classroom routines (arriving, lining up, raising hands) and social skills (greeting peers, turn-taking) through interactive role-plays and games, building confidence and connections in the first week of school.

Mastering routines and positive interactions helps first graders feel secure, reduces transitions stress, and fosters friendships for a smooth start to the year.
