Where Are You? Lesson Plan

Students will learn why attending school daily matters by exploring how absenteeism affects their learning and friendships through story, song, and a matching game; they will articulate one reason why coming to school is important.

Building regular attendance habits early fosters a sense of belonging, consistency, and peer connection; this lesson helps kindergarteners understand how being present supports their learning and friendships.
