Lesson Plan

Next Stop Plan

Students will identify and articulate their feelings about ending 4th grade and transitioning to 5th grade, share with peers, and normalize a range of emotions in a supportive classroom environment.

Recognizing and validating students’ mixed emotions fosters social-emotional well-being and builds a caring classroom community as they approach a big milestone.
