Students tour key middle school spaces through photos, a simple campus map, and a counselor-guided routine walkthrough focused on arrival, class changes, lunch, support spaces, and trusted adults. They record noticings and wonderings on sticky notes, then sort them into categories such as stress, organization, belonging, and help-seeking. The class closes by naming early patterns about what might feel confusing for new students.
