🪩 This is strictly for the teachers who know that connection comes before content, PERIOD. If you're the kind of teacher who is looking to reset, reconnect, and ease your students back into the groove - then hi, 👋🏼 hello! We just became best friends, and I'm here to make your first day a literal BREEZE with these New Year Stations! 
 
✨Designed for middle school and high school, here's what you can expect from this low-prep, no-tech back-from-break activity!
 
6 Rotating Stations
🧠 What's Your Smart? (learning style + career connections)
⏱️ Day In The Life (time-management)
💪 Wellness Memory Game (health, habits & wellness)
🎵 That's a Wrapped! (classroom culture + identity)
🎲 Rolling into my Next Era (connection + fun) - pair of dice required 
🧱 New Year Jenga (connection + reflection) - Jenga set required
 
🎯 Designed for grades 6–12, this resource supports your SEL goals while keeping things simple and effective and allowing students to 🤝 build relationships and reconnect with their classroom community.
 
 
☀️ Editable Lesson Slides
Includes warm-up or class entry, objective, today's task, station slides, class closure or clean-up, & timers embedded for pacing
Extra blank slides are included if you wish to add your own stations or additional slides.
 
☀️ Editable Station Table Toppers
These are designed to fit Ikea's 4x6 white Tolsby frames, but you can adjust the size of the table toppers in your printer settings if you don't have these frames and would instead use different frames. Dollar Tree sells 8.5x11 standing frames.
Each Table Topper comes with station directions, so you do not have to explain the task at each table. You're free to roam around, get to know your students, and answer questions as they come up.
