Lesson Plan

Mindful Minutes Outline

In a 15-minute small-group session, students will practice guided breathing, share emotional observations, and complete a one-minute reflection to build self-management skills and readiness for challenging tasks.

Establishing a quick mindfulness routine helps 10th graders regulate emotions, reduce stress, and improve focus before rigorous work—key Self-Management skills per CASEL.
