Lesson Plan
Forecasting Feelings Plan
Students will accurately label four core emotions—happy, sad, angry, anxious—and match each with a physical cue or thought pattern, empowering them to self-manage by naming their feelings.
Naming emotions is the essential first step to emotional awareness and self-regulation. This lesson gives students a relatable, hands-on framework to recognize feelings in their bodies and thoughts, boosting wellness and decision-making.
