Welcome the student and introduce today’s goal: learning how to calm your mind and body using the Calm Circle diagram.
Explain that the Calm Circle is a tool to break down what’s happening inside when we feel upset.
Point to each colored segment and describe it briefly.
How to Use Your Calm Circle
Walk through each step slowly, modeling deep breaths.
Read or play the guided visualization script. Pause between prompts to allow time for imagery.
Provide materials (paper, colored pencils) and guide the student as they draw.
Allow one minute of silence. Observe and cue the end without speaking.
Summarize learning, preview next steps: creating a personal calm plan in the next activity.
