Lesson Plan
Calm Crew Lesson Plan
Students will learn to recognize signs of anxiety and practice two simple calming strategies—deep breathing and positive self-talk—to better manage big feelings at school and at home.
Helping students identify and regulate anxiety early builds emotional awareness, boosts self-confidence, and supports a positive learning environment both in class and beyond.
