We will learn how our anxiety works in the brain and name it on the highest point of our thermometers. We will close with learning the opening ritual for our following sessions.

Summary of content- this video discusses how our brains go into "fight, flight or freeze" during anxious moments and how that can cause us to make decisions that we normally may not. It shares how anxiety is supposed to protect us from danger and how to tell your body that you are not in danger in order to react more appropriately to situations.

We will create our own stress balls to provide a multisensory approach to stress management by combining a physical tool (stress ball), with a mental relaxation technique (guided imagery).

It outlines the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset in a fun and engaging way for students. It allows students to hear and receive the information in a way that is different (and more engaging) than a lecture from a teacher.

Students will engage in guided exercises such as deep breathing before and after the simulation to reduce stress and gain confidence. They will also reflect on their emotions by using learned strategies to manage anxiety in future test situations.
