Lesson Plan

Mindful Moments Plan

Students will practice simple breathing techniques through guided activities to reduce stress and improve focus during a 20-minute small-group session.

Teaching mindful breathing builds self-regulation skills, helps 3rd graders manage emotions, and boosts their readiness to learn and engage.
