Lesson Plan

Taming the Storm Lesson Plan

Students will learn to notice when strong feelings start, practice easy ways to calm down, and make a simple plan to help themselves when they get upset.

Helping 5th graders understand and manage big emotions early keeps them feeling safe, makes it easier to get along with classmates, and builds confidence.
