Lesson Plan
Breathe Break Blueprint Lesson Plan
In a 10-minute one-on-one session, teach the student practical breathing and reflection strategies, interactive practice, and a calming game to help them de-escalate intense emotions independently.
Students who can self-regulate reduce classroom disruptions and build confidence. This targeted intervention helps an active student learn to calm down safely when upset or redirected.
