Lesson Plan

Calm and Center Plan

Students will learn to identify big emotions, practice calming techniques, and create personal self-regulation plans to manage feelings in the classroom.

Teaching self-regulation builds emotional resilience and supports focus, enabling students to manage stress, concentrate on learning, and interact positively with peers.
