Review

My water bottle

The lesson’s self-assessment, privately on each phone.

Teacher note: The manual reminds teachers: you don’t need to be a mental health expert. If students share personal struggles, reassure them that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love them, and encourage them to seek counsel from parents, Church leaders, school counselors or other emotional health professionals. These activities use no scores and no shared free text; reflection stays on each student’s phone.

Send home

Peace, be still

Send this to your class chat after the lesson. Students and parents can open the story and resources at home, alone or with family.

“And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”Mark 4:39

Ask: When you feel shaken this week, what’s one way you’ll invite the Savior’s help?

Try: Read Mark 4:35–41 slowly. Picture the moment He says, “Peace, be still.”
