Lesson Plan

Color Your Calm Lesson Plan

Students will identify emotions within the four Zones of Regulation, categorize sample feelings, and learn strategies to move toward the calm (green) zone.

Recognizing and regulating emotions builds self-awareness, supports positive classroom behavior, and equips students with lifelong social-emotional skills.
