Lesson Plan

Feelings Safety Circle

Students will recognize big feelings, learn safe calm-down strategies, and practice reaching out to trusted adults through story, role-play, and reflection.

Building emotional awareness and prevention skills early helps children manage distress safely, strengthens their support networks, and reduces risk by normalizing help-seeking.
