Lesson Plan

Self-Care Lesson Plan: Littles Edition

Learn to care for your body, feelings and mind, one small habit at a time.

This is the Littles Edition of Self-Care: one ready-to-teach week written just for grades K-3. 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: What helps me feel ready to play, learn and be kind?

The Week

• Mon: What Is Self-Care? (Reading) • Tue: Feeling Words (Writing & Words) • Wed: My Busy Heart (Science & Math) • Thu: My Self-Care Menu (Hands-on Project) • Fri: Teach a Calm-Down (Show & Tell)

Teaching more than one level? The all-levels edition of Self-Care 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 K-3 classrooms, co-ops and substitute plans.
