Lesson Plan

Emotion Detective Plan

Students will learn to recognize and label their feelings, practice deep breathing to calm down, and use positive self-talk, empowering them to manage emotions independently.

Building emotion regulation helps students develop self-awareness, reduces stress responses, and promotes a positive classroom climate by giving them tools to cope with strong feelings.
