Teacher Notes

ABOUT THIS LESSON
A two-minute checklist that makes tomorrow morning calmer. The lesson helps students build a two-minute checklist we can run the night before so tomorrow starts calmly.

TEACHING INSIGHT
Planning ahead is a quiet kind of care. Getting ready the night before is not worrying about tomorrow; it steadies us so we can be on time and available to others.

FACILITATION FOCUS
The main application is “Two-minute checklist”, where students move from discussing the idea to trying it in a concrete example. Keep returning to the takeaway: “Two calm minutes tonight buy back ten frantic ones tomorrow.” Look for whether students name a specific action and when they will do it, rather than a vague promise to try harder.
