A playful lesson guiding kindergarteners through calming strategies like deep breathing and gentle stretches to build self-control and focus in a fun, engaging way. This Tier 1 lesson for a 30-minute session includes a complete blueprint, interactive slides, energizing warm-up, hands-on breathing activity, and reflective cool-down.

In this three-session small-group series, 3rd graders will practice blending mindfulness exercises with goal-setting charts to strengthen self-management. Through guided activities, discussions, and personal tracking tools, students will learn to focus attention, sustain concentration, and follow through on tasks—key skills tied to CASEL’s Self-Management competency.
