Be Kind, Be Safe, and Do Your Job are the only school rules you need! I have taught for 33 years, in three different districts. I have seen many school-wide rules instituted, but these are the only ones that stuck! Our district has used these for years! These rules are simple and easy to remember. All other rules can fit under these main rules. This resource includes a poster for each of the three rules and suggested books to read to your class for each rule to help facilitate discussion. A student booklet for each student to complete, take home, and share with their families is also included.

Helping young children learn appropriate, polite and considerate behaviour enables them to form good manners which in turn supports them to be socially attentive as they get older.

Good Manners plays a significant role in building and cultivating relationships and friendships, therefore it is a skillset that shouldn’t be overlooked.

I designed this 5-page activity for my students to engage with during the Fall or at the start of the year, focusing on the Social Studies Citizenship unit. Students will read various scenarios and determine whether each one exemplifies good citizenship. This activity is perfect for reinforcing rules and character traits at the beginning of the year. I intend to use it as an independent task after a few days of instruction on citizenship. It can also serve as a graded assessment, quiz, or a follow-up activity after a mini-lesson on rules or citizenship. Be sure to check out my Good Citizen or Not sorting center, along with other citizenship and respect resources!

"I Can Have Empathy" is a 12 Page, easy-read social skills narrative designed to help children understand the importance of others and their social interactions. This engaging and interactive story promotes social-emotional learning and enhances children's understanding of empathy.

This book comes in full color with a black-and-white version as well.

Creating a positive environment for students is a top priority, but it can be difficult when individuals lack an awareness of the impact of their words towards others, especially when it does not affect them in the same way. This activity brings awareness and a better understanding, while also increasing empathy and care toward others. I also like to remind students that we cannot control what other people chose to say and do, though we can take time to educate and create awareness, especially when something they are saying or doing is impacting us. This lesson can be customized to fit whatever statements would be most beneficial in recognizing within your school.

Creative Intervention to support anxious children to let go of their worries with the help of their worry tree.

This project is a creative way for children to identify and acknowledge their anxieties. Sometimes we all carry around worries. They might be about school, home, friendships or even changes in our life. This activity encourages children to think about their worries and put them on their own worry tree. They can write down all of their worries and put them on the tree so that they don’t need to carry these worries around with them anymore. When the worries have been placed on the tree, it opens up discussion around strategies and ways that they can cope with that worry.

This resource includes:

- What is a Worry Tree

- My Worries (What do I want to talk about) worksheet

- When I feel Worried Brainstorm

- Coping Skills Poster

- Rainbow Breathing

- Breathing & Concentration Exercise

- Mindful Senses

- Create your own Worry Tree Template (tree, leaves, butterflies, birds)

- Extra Notes Page

WHAT TO DO

If you have a worry all you have to do is to write your worry on a leaf. Use some glue and glue your worry on the tree. Your tree will keep it safe until you have explored your worry with someone and thought of some coping strategies. As time goes by, you can use the butterflies and birds to take the worries away!
