Lesson Plan

Calm Classroom Quest Lesson Plan

Students will recognize what anxiety feels like, express their feelings, and learn two coping strategies—deep breathing and positive self-talk—to feel calmer and more confident in class.

Early awareness and coping skills help students manage anxious feelings, improve focus, and build a supportive classroom environment where everyone feels heard and safe.
