Lesson Plan

Mindful Moments Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice simple mindfulness and stress-management techniques—such as guided breathing and reflection—to help them stay calm, focused, and emotionally regulated during the busy end-of-year period.

At the end of the school year, stress and distraction spike. Equipping K–8 learners with mindful tools builds resilience, improves concentration, and creates a supportive classroom environment.
