Lesson Plan

Mindful Moments Outline

Students will use sensory-based exercises and reflection to calm their minds, label emotions, and cultivate gratitude within a 20-minute mindfulness routine.

Introducing mindfulness helps 4th graders build focus, self-awareness, and emotional regulation—skills that support learning, reduce stress, and foster a positive classroom climate.
