Lesson Plan

Calm Classroom Blueprint

Students will learn deep breathing and gentle stretching strategies to calm their bodies, build self-control, and maintain focus during the school day.

Teaching these calming techniques helps kindergarteners develop self-management skills, reduces stress, and creates a positive learning environment that supports focus and emotional regulation.
