Lesson Plan

Sweet Slumber Lesson Plan

Students will learn why sleep is essential for growth and focus, practice healthy bedtime routines through discussion and hands-on activities, and create a personalized bedtime story to reinforce good sleep habits.

Sleep is crucial for young children’s development, learning, and emotional well-being. Early introduction to healthy sleep routines helps students build habits that support attention, mood regulation, and overall health both in and out of the classroom.
