LESSON PLANS &
ACTIVITY GUIDES
The guides here are meant to inspire creative ways of using MOMENT with students. Each one has variations to consider. Use them as they are or as a starting point to develop your own lesson plan. We will continue to add and refine as we receive feedback from educators. Take a look!!
