Lesson Plan

Mindful Minutes Plan

In a focused 20-minute session, students will practice a feelings check-in, two breathing exercises, a guided visualization, and complete a journal entry to develop stress-management and concentration skills.

Teaching mindfulness equips students with tools to self-regulate emotions, reduce classroom anxiety, and build lifelong wellness habits that support academic success.
