The Starfish Check-In + Take Five Lesson Plan

Students will learn a mindfulness meditation practice called The Starfish Check-In [K-4] or Take 5 [5-12], in order to build their understanding of, and connection between their mind and body by noticing sensations or feelings in their body, interpreting the information, and completing journal prompts to reflect upon 5 different aspects of themselves: physical, emotional, intellectual, kind awareness, and community

In this lesson, students will practice mindfulness meditation in order to scan their bodies for sensations to determine feelings in their bodies.
