Lesson Plan

Superhero Calm Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice three simple coping skills—deep breathing, positive self-talk, and asking for help—to manage big feelings and build emotional regulation.

Teaching these skills helps first graders recognize and regulate emotions, reduce classroom disruptions, and foster a supportive, calmer learning environment.
