Lesson Plan

Calm Core Lesson Plan

Students will identify their current emotions and triggers using a reflection worksheet, practice calming strategies with strategy cards, and develop a personalized plan to manage strong emotions in the future.

Building emotional regulation skills helps 5th graders recognize and navigate their feelings, reducing disruptive behavior and improving self-control and academic engagement.
