Impulse Heroes Teacher Guide Impulse Heroes
6-Week Curriculum Overview
Target Grade 1st Grade
Unit Philosophy
First grade is a pivotal year for executive function development. "Impulse Heroes" reframes self-control from a "don't do that" mindset to a "superpower" mindset. Students learn that their brain has a "Pause Button" and "Focus Flash" powers to help them make better choices.
The 6-Week Journey
1
Pause Power
The Stoplight Method: Stop, Think, Act. Introducing the "Pause Button" concept.
2
Focus Flashers
Developing attention and concentration. Identifying "Distraction Villains" and using "Focus Flash" eyes.
3
Talk and Track
Conversational turn-taking. Using a "Talking Stick" and practicing active listening.
4
Fair Play Friends
Waiting for turns in games. Dealing with the impulse to go first or win every time.
5
Body and Wait Bosses
Personal space and patience. Combining "Body Bubbles" with waiting strategies for transitions.
6
Hero Graduation
Review, role-play challenges, and awarding Hero Certificates.
Lesson 2: Focus Flashers

6-Week Social-Emotional Curriculum
Target Grade 5TH GRADE
Project Mission
As 5th graders prepare for middle school, social dynamics become increasingly complex. Friendship Architects uses the metaphor of construction to help students understand that healthy relationships aren't accidental—they are built with intention, maintained with care, and repaired with skill.
Core Goals
Sustain long-term connections
Resolve conflicts independently
Evaluate peer influences
Navigate digital social spaces
Phase Breakdown
Week 01
Building Foundations
Identifying "Structural Values" (loyalty, trust, humor) and practicing "Outreach Blueprints" for new friendships.
Week 02
Structural Support
Maintenance tasks: active listening, being reliable, and the "Social Check-in" technique.
Week 03
The Choice Blueprint
Analyzing social pressure. Using the "Structural Strength Test" to evaluate choices before acting.
Week 04
Renovation & Repair
Conflict resolution framework. Sincere apologies and rebuilding "Safety Walls" after a misunderstanding.
Week 05
Digital Design
Applying architectural principles to texting, gaming, and social media. The "Delete" button vs. the "Send" button.
Week 06
Grand Opening Ceremony
Final project showcase, graduation, and creating a personal "Future Blueprint" for Middle School social life.
Architect's Guide: Facilitation
Core strategies for the 5th Grade developmental stage.
Group Dynamics
5th graders are often highly attuned to status and cliques. Use heterogeneous grouping to break down existing barriers. Emphasize that "Architects" collaborate with everyone on the site.
Common Pitfalls
• Over-Correction: Avoid lecturing. Use the "Scenario Lab" to let them analyze choices first.
• Exclusivity: Address the "Best Friend" trap. Focus on building a broad "Friendship Portfolio."
Weekly Anchor Routine
1
The Inspection Self-reflection on the previous week's "social construction."
2
The Blueprint Direct instruction on the new skill/concept.

Structural Materials
In the construction of a friendship, Core Values are the materials you use. If you use weak materials, the friendship might fall apart during a storm.
Top 3 Materials
Write down the 3 qualities you think are MOST important in a friend.
Quality Inspector's Tip
Think about "Hidden Structural Values." Someone might be funny (which is great!), but are they also reliable? High-quality friends are consistent.

The Follow-Up Challenge
Maintaining a friendship means remembering the small things. Choose a friend you want to "check in" with this week.
What is one thing they told you recently?
(e.g., A big game, a family trip, a project they were nervous about)
What is your follow-up script?
Write exactly how you would ask them about it.

Friendship Architects: Mission 03
Social Pressure
In architecture, Pressure is a force that pushes on a building.
Peer Pressure:
When your friends push you to make a choice you aren't sure about.
Pressure
The Structural Strength Test
Ask these 3 questions before you build the choice:
Safe?
Could someone get hurt (physically or emotionally)?
Values?
Does this match who I want to be?
Truth?
Would I be okay if my teacher or family saw me do this?
Choice Lab
"A group of friends is teasing a new student behind their back. They look at you and say, 'Don't you think their shoes are weird too?'"
How do you resist the pressure?

Tone B: They are being sarcastic because the invite was late.

Identity Lab Teacher Guide True North: Identity Lab
5th Grade SEL Curriculum Guide
The Mission
As students approach adolescence, the question "Who am I?" moves to the forefront. The Identity Lab provides a safe, structured environment to deconstruct identity into manageable components: values, strengths, mindset, and self-talk. By the end of Week 6, students will have a "True North Map" to guide their choices in middle school.
Weekly Lab Schedule
01 Point Zero: What makes up an identity? Internal vs. External.
02 Strength Analysis: Character traits and talent identification.
03 Mindset Mechanics: The science of growth mindset.
04 04 Signal Decoding: Catching and reframing the "Inner Critic."
05 Authenticity Test: Real self vs. Social filters.
06 The Reveal: Final portfolio and graduation ceremony.
Lab Standards
Identify 5 personal core strengths.
Differentiate between internal and external identity.
Practice 3 positive self-talk reframes.
Teacher Tip
5th graders are sensitive to peer perception. Model vulnerability by sharing your own 'Lab Reports' during group time.
Week 01
Lesson 1: Point Zero
Key Concept
Students often define themselves by what they do (sports, grades) rather than who they are . "Point Zero" focuses on the "Inner Identity"—the values and traits that stay the same regardless of what activity they are doing.
Activity: The Identity Map
Discuss the difference between "What I do" and "Who I am."
Use the Identity Map Worksheet to categorize traits.
Small Group Share: One internal trait I'm proud of.
Facilitator Questions
"If all your hobbies were taken away tomorrow, what parts of you would still be there?"
"Do people see the same 'version' of you that you see inside?"
Point Zero Slides True North
Identity Lab: Project Point Zero
The Two Layers of Identity
Outer Layer
"The things I DO and HAVE."
• Sports / Hobbies
• Grades / School
• My Clothes
• My Friends
Inner Layer

• My Values
• My Feelings
• My Kindness
• My Courage
Lab Inspection: Who Are You?
"If you were a book, what would your chapters be titled?"
