Lesson Plan

Calm in the Storm Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice deep-breathing techniques to manage anxiety about family stress and reflect on their emotions, culminating in an exit ticket to demonstrate comprehension.

Teaching breathing exercises supports emotional regulation, reduces classroom anxiety, and equips 3rd graders with lifelong coping tools for stress management.
