Lesson Plan

Boundaries Lesson Plan: Middles Edition

Measure personal space zones, track real yes, no and maybe moments, and script a kind, firm no.

This is the Middles Edition of Boundaries: one ready-to-teach week written just for grades 4-6. Every day follows the same rhythm: Reading on Monday, Writing and Words on Tuesday, Science and Math on Wednesday, a Hands-on Project on Thursday, and Show and Tell on Friday.

The big question: How do I set a boundary that is clear and kind, and how do I respect someone else's?

The Week

• Mon: Lines You Cannot See (Reading) • Tue: Write the Script (Writing & Words) • Wed: Measuring Personal Space (Science & Math) • Thu: Pocket Cards and a Map (Hands-on Project) • Fri: Teach the Family (Show & Tell)

Teaching more than one level? The all-levels edition of Boundaries has Littles (K-3), Middles (4-6) and Bigs (7-8) in one file, so siblings or a mixed classroom can study the same topic together.

Perfect for homeschool families, grade 4-6 classrooms, co-ops and substitute plans.
