Lesson Plan

Finding Your Calm

Students will identify when they feel sad, angry, or frustrated and practice using at least one coping skill—deep breathing, positive self-talk, or a sensory break—to stay calm and exhibit positive behavior.

Helping students recognize and manage negative emotions fosters self-regulation, reduces classroom disruptions, and builds lifelong emotional resilience to support learning and positive peer interactions.
