Lesson Plan

Mindfulness Session Blueprint

Students will learn and practice three mindfulness techniques—breathing, body scan, and mindful drawing—to regulate emotions, enhance focus, and build daily self-awareness habits.

Seventh graders face academic and social stress. Teaching accessible mindfulness tools empowers them to manage emotions, improve concentration, and foster emotional resilience in and out of the classroom.
