Lesson Plan
Taming My Tempers Lesson Plan
Students will learn to identify anger and its triggers, rate their anger levels using a thermometer scale, and practice simple calming strategies to manage their emotions.
Teaching anger management at a young age supports emotional regulation, reduces tantrums, and builds self-awareness and coping skills that benefit behavior at home and school.
