Lesson Plan
Detective Training
Introduce attention and focus skills using a detective theme; students will define attention, recognize distractions, and practice noticing details through observation tasks.
Building sustained attention helps students follow instructions, complete tasks, and engage in learning. A fun detective theme motivates 1st grade boys to practice focus skills in a hands-on way.
