Lesson Plan

Mindful Mystery Roadmap

Students will step into the role of calming detectives to notice their emotions and practice breath-based self-calming techniques, fostering lifelong self-management skills.

Building early mindfulness and self-regulation skills helps 3rd graders manage stress, improve focus, and navigate challenging emotions both in and out of the classroom.
