Lesson Plan

Mindfulness Mini-Plan

By the end of this 25-minute session, students will be able to use a simple grounding technique (5-4-3-2-1 game), practice a focused breathing exercise, participate in a silent sound circle, and reflect mindfully to manage anxiety and boost attention.

Regular, structured mindfulness practices help 4th-graders build emotional resilience, reduce stress, and improve self-regulation, equipping them to face academic and social challenges.
