I am so excited to introduce the Breathe & Calm: Breathing Techniques for Middle and High School Students —an essential resource for any high school Calm Corner. This collection features 10 calming breathing exercises and offers students a dedicated space and the opportunity to take a few minutes to practice various techniques, allowing them to find the one most suitable for managing their emotions, regaining focus, and calming down during stressful or overwhelming moments. Perfect for fostering a supportive classroom environment, this resource empowers students to develop healthy, effective coping strategies.

What's Included:

❤️ Breathing Techniques Task Cards in color and black-and-white formats, ideal for quick, individual use, as part of a classroom station, in Calm Corners, or for small group exercises.

❤️ Instructional Posters in two variations, both containing the same information but presented differently to support diverse visual needs:

• Paragraph Form: Calm, easy-to-follow descriptions of each technique.

• Step-by-Step Form: Clear, actionable steps for guided breathing, ideal for students who benefit from seeing instructions broken down step by step.

• Each poster variation is available in color and black-and-white to suit various classroom decor styles.

❤️ Reflection Worksheets in two variations, available in both print and digital versions:

• ❤ Three-Question Variation: Students reflect with three targeted questions after each breathing exercise.

What Do You Do With a Problem? by Kobi Yamada Activities:

From the new author of Maybe and Trying, this What Do You Do With a Problem? activities file includes growth mindset activities, worksheets, reflection activities, and more!

This activity-packed literature unit for What Do You Do With a Problem by Kobi Yamada is perfect for 1st-4th grade.

This picture book works perfectly with What Do You Do With an Idea? and What Do You Do With a Chance?, Maybe, and Trying (all by Kobi Yamada).

The activities in the literature companion focus more on the concepts presented in the story and less on the content (although there are comprehension questions included in list form and task card form).

In addition to the task cards and worksheets, you will also find a variety of activities where students can practice finding opportunities in real-life problems as well as a growth mindset reflection page.

Instructions are also included on how to set up a "Problem Patrol" in your classroom to assist students in solving problems (or receiving suggestions on how to manage problems). Please check out the preview for What Do You Do With a Problem? prior to purchasing.

My hope is that this product will help your students learn how to find the gems of opportunity in problems. There is also a focus on how to deal with worries that students can control and worries that students can't control (and would even be perfect for a counselor who is facilitating a group for students that focuses on anxiety, worries, or problem-solving skills). Please let me know if you have questions prior to purchasing this literature unit.

Also, be sure to check out the new book by Kobi Yamada called Maybe. You won't be disappointed!
