Lesson Plan

Finding Your Calm Space

Students will learn to identify and access personal calming strategies by visualizing their own “happy place” and reflecting on how to use it for self-regulation.

Teaching self-regulation through guided imagery helps students manage stress, build emotional resilience, and create a calm, supportive classroom environment.
