Kickstart Time Lesson Plan

Help 3rd graders identify and practice simple strategies to begin assignments independently within 15 minutes, so they can overcome hesitation and start work confidently.

Many students delay starting tasks due to uncertainty or lack of focus. Teaching concrete task-initiation strategies empowers them to begin work on their own, reducing frustration and building confidence and self-reliance.
