Lesson Plan

Memory Lane Mixer Lesson Plan

Facilitate a celebratory, hands-on reflection where 5th graders share memories from elementary school, create personalized keepsakes, and build excitement for middle school transition.

Reflecting on achievements and challenges boosts self-esteem, strengthens peer bonds in small groups, and eases anxiety about upcoming middle school changes.
