Grade 4

Future Pathfinder. Map the trail and own the gear.

Eleven facilitator-led sessions that help 4th graders take charge of their own routines: planning long projects, focusing without distractions, budgeting, checking facts online, finding root causes, working through disagreements, handling peer pressure, staying calm, and pitching ideas.

Each 75-minute session has a full script, a story to read aloud, a group workshop, and a printable student workbook. Students learn a simple framework in every module and take home a weekly mission. The last session is a capstone and graduation.
