Lesson Plan
Fiesta of Favorites
Students will share their favorite colors, foods, and games in small groups and as a class to practice speaking, listening, and making connections—building a welcoming community.
Starting the year with a shared celebration fosters a sense of belonging and friendship. Students learn about each other’s interests and develop confidence in speaking and listening.
