Lesson Plan

Taming Our Volcano Lesson Plan

Students will recognize early ‘volcano’ cues of anger, label their feelings, and practice calming strategies to self-regulate and support peers.

Helping kindergartners identify and manage anger builds emotional awareness, reduces tantrums, and fosters empathy and positive peer interactions in the classroom.
