Meeting Our Goals Step by Step SAMPLE SAMPLE Kindergarten CKCC Unit 2, Lesson 11 Social-Emotional Competency: Regulation of Self
Five Minute Preparing to Learn Exercise Muscle Relaxation: We are all going to make our bodies tight and stiff like robots, and then we are going to loosen them up until we become so relaxed that our bodies feel like floppy rag dolls. Can anybody show me what a robot looks like? What about a rag doll? SAMPLE SAMPLE
Now let’s try it together, starting with our hands. Everybody make a tight fist—as tight as you can. Now tighten the rest of your arm, along with your fist…tighter, tighter, tighter… SAMPLE SAMPLE Now relax! Release your muscles and take a deep, slow breath. Let your arm fall—like a rag doll. Great!

Activate Prior Knowledge For the past couple of weeks during our CKCC lesson, Firefly helped Ant to get organized. Who can tell me what it means to be organized? Who remembers the two ways that Firefly taught Ant to help him get and stay organized? [Putting things in their proper places and making checklists]. SAMPLE SAMPLE
Activate Prior Knowledge Now, can anyone name some tools you would find in a toolbox? Tools help us to get something done well and more easily. The tools we find in a toolbox may help us to build things. Having special places to put things, and using checklists are also types of tools because they help us to get tasks, like our schoolwork, done well and more easily. They are called “organizational tools,” and there are a number of them. SAMPLE SAMPLE
TEACH Today, with the help of our Garden Friends, we are going to continue our discussion about getting organized by learning another organizational tool. Hello boys and girls. I want to tell you about something exciting that happened in the Garden School. The Garden Friends got a sudden, surprise invitation to go on a special trip to a museum. It seems that, at the last minute, a different class couldn’t go so they offered the trip to us. But we had to hurry, because the bus was waiting outside. SAMPLE SAMPLE
Since it was going to be a very long and busy day, I decided that my students should pack extra snacks from the snack food we had in our classroom. Each garden friend got to choose one from a choice of three snacks: apple, raisins, or pretzels. We have a special basket that we always keep our snacks in, and we decided that we would fill up our snack basket and bring it to the museum with us. The bus was leaving in 15 minutes, so our goal was to be all packed in 10 minutes. SAMPLE SAMPLE
Snail looked worried because we were in a rush, and he usually moves so slowly. Some of the other Garden Friends said that they felt confused about what to do first. The next thing I knew, Ant came to the rescue. SAMPLE SAMPLE
Hello, everyone. I am so happy to see you today. I have been busy learning how to get organized so that I will always feel prepared. You may remember that a couple of weeks ago I had a tough day. I lost my pencil and my homework was ruined… I used Firefly’s great ideas and they helped me get organized! I got a great new folder and I have been using my checklist to prepare my backpack for school every day. And since then, I’ve had my pencil every day. SAMPLE SAMPLE
Do you remember what a checklist is? You’re right! A checklist is a tool you can use for remembering things that are important. Checklist 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. SAMPLE SAMPLE
Ant used the word “prepare.” Let’s be sure we remember what that word means. Turn and Talk Turn to a partner and discuss what “prepare” means. One or two pairs will share out. SAMPLE SAMPLE Great thinking! To prepare for something means to get ready to be part of an activity. Being prepared helps us to be organized.
Let’s learn a new song that will help us be prepared for anything. “I Can Be Prepared For Anything!” I can be prepared for anything! [clap, clap] To learn, to play, to dance and to sing! [clap, clap] I will follow a plan that I know, when I do, I’m ready to go! I can be prepared for anything! [clap, clap] SAMPLE SAMPLE
Wow friends! What a great song! Today I have a new tool to help you get organized and prepared. I call it a Step-List, because it is a special checklist for remembering the important steps you have to take to do something like preparing a snack, washing your hands, or even baking a cake! I number each step on my step-list, and then I can remember what to do first, second, third, and on and on. A step-list tells me the order to do things in! SAMPLE SAMPLE 5 4 3 2 1
Picture Sort Students’ job is to rearrange the pictures in the correct “step-by-step” order, to demonstrate a step-list. What would happen if we put the soap on after we dry our hands? SAMPLE SAMPLE

WRAP UP Since last week, we’ve been learning a lot about being organized. Last week, we learned about checklists, and today we learned about a special type of checklist called a step-list. A step-list tells us the steps we have to take, in order, so that we can accomplish our goals. If we follow a plan, like Ant’s Step-List, we can be ready for anything. SAMPLE SAMPLE Brain Buzz/Make Your Own Picture Brainstorm ideas of tasks that a step-list may be useful for. Then, if time allows, we will draw and label a step-list of our own. You can create one for an activity you engage in daily or occasionally. Examples may include washing hands, getting dressed, or making a sandwich.
Discussion • Who can tell me what a checklist is? • Who can tell me what a step-list is? • What is the important difference between a checklist and a step-list? • [A step-list is a special type of checklist that has a specific order, while it doesn’t necessarily matter the order of the items on a checklist. ] SAMPLE SAMPLE
Discussion • How can checklists and step-lists be helpful? • [A check-list is helpful when you need to be sure you have everything; A step-list is helpful when need to follow steps in order, like building something out of blocks, washing hands, making a sandwich, baking a cake.] • When and where can we use checklists and step-lists? SAMPLE SAMPLE
