Calm Down Crew Lesson Plan

Students will recognize signs of anger using visual cues and practice a simple belly‐breathing strategy to calm down when upset.

Building self‐regulation skills early helps kindergarteners manage frustration, reduces classroom disruptions, and fosters emotional well-being.
