Ninth graders build self-management by caring for their wellbeing — through sleep, movement, screen breaks, and connection. Self-care is not selfish; it is how you stay well enough to handle everything else. They sort habits that support wellbeing from ones that harm it, then plan a self-care routine.
Students will be able to…
What habits actually keep you well — and which ones wear you down?
Project this and sort each habit into Supports wellbeing or Harms wellbeing.
Tap any phase to open the teacher moves and student actions.
