Lesson Plan

Whispering Walls Support Plan

Help a 5th grade student notice when they feel upset, use personalized cue cards to calm themselves quietly, and reflect on their success to build self-control and confidence.

At this age, students benefit from simple, private tools to manage big feelings. Learning to self-regulate reduces outbursts, improves focus in class and on the playground, and builds lasting coping skills.
