Lesson Plan

Finding Inner Calm

Students will learn and practice deep breathing, a quick movement break, and use of a calm-down toolbox to recognize and manage big emotions.

Early self-regulation builds emotional awareness, reduces classroom disruptions, and equips children with lifelong coping skills to stay focused and calm.
