Mindful Moments Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice two simple mindfulness techniques—focused breathing and a body scan—to calm their bodies and improve attention.

First graders often need extra support with self-regulation. These brief, accessible mindfulness practices help reduce anxiety, boost focus, and build emotional awareness, laying the groundwork for successful learning.
