Lesson Plan
Chill Pill Plan
Students will create a personalized “Chill Pill” break kit by selecting and decorating calming items, completing an inventory checklist, and reflecting on its calming effectiveness.
Proactive self-regulation skills help students manage stress before it escalates. A personalized kit empowers the 4th grader to recognize triggers, choose coping tools, and build confidence in independent calming strategies.
