Lesson Plan
Signal Spotting Plan
Students will learn to notice early body signals of frustration—like a racing heart or tight fists—and use a simple checklist to pick and practice a calming response.
Helping students recognize and respond to early signs of frustration builds self-awareness, prevents emotional escalation, and promotes healthy emotional regulation skills.
