Lesson Plan
Self-Awareness and Self-Control
Students will identify and name their emotions (self-awareness) and practice pausing to choose a positive response (self-control) in everyday situations.
Building self-awareness and self-control helps students manage feelings, make thoughtful choices, and create a calm learning environment. These foundational skills support emotional regulation and positive classroom behavior.
