Booster Group Plan
Over four 30-minute sessions, students will learn to identify emotions, build self-awareness, practice coping strategies, and monitor progress using personalized goals. Actionable goals include logging triggers, selecting coping tools, and assessing growth.
Developing self-regulation boosts student confidence, reduces classroom disruptions, and equips 5th graders with lifelong emotional coping skills. Small groups provide targeted support for learners needing extra practice.
