Simple activity book for children to fill out information all about themselves.

Why do you need this?

A teacher might need a very simple activity book for children to help them become familiar with basic personal information, such as their name, address, school, and teacher's name. This activity promotes literacy skills, reinforces memory of personal details, and encourages fine motor skills through writing and cutting and sticking pictures.

How and when might you use this?

Teachers might use a simple activity book like this at the beginning of the school year, especially with younger children or those who need extra practice with basic personal information. It can be done individually or in small groups, providing an opportunity for teachers to interact with students one-on-one and assess their understanding of personal details. The activity can also be integrated into literacy lessons, promoting handwriting skills and reinforcing memory of personal information.

What is included?

14 page booklet. Pages included are:

· Title page to draw a self-portrait

· Name writing practice

· My address

· My school

· My teacher

· My birthday

· Eye and hair color

· My family

· My favorite things

· My achievements

An eco-map is often used an assessment tool in clinical mental health settings, but can be a beneficial SEL activity for social awareness. This exercise can be modified for small children all the way through adults.

The graph asks the participant to picture their social life as an ecosystem where they are at the center. In the blank space around them they can write in all of their formal and informal social ties and resources they have. (For younger children I suggest offering the option to draw the people in their life!) For further reflection, the participant can then add a + to signify if the person/resource is a positive part of their life, a - to signify if the person/resource is a negative part of their life, or write +- to signify a give and take relationship.

I use this worksheet along with social awareness lessons to encourage students to think about who they can ask for help from, who they have as supports, or reflect on relationships. It also allows you to gain insight into your students' life and resources outside of the classroom.

Are you looking for an activity to teach your students to address and envelope and mail it? This activity will address this very important life skill and help students feel confident that they can send mail all on their own!

This activity includes:

- 12 Valentine Stamps

- Editable Return Labels - Create a cute classroom name and address for your students to enjoy.

- 12 "Mail To" address
- 2 Printable Envelope Templates - I suggest using real envelopes for a true example, but these templates look as good as the real deal if you don't have them at hand

Use this strategy to help students understand the difference between reporting an incident and tattling. They get to practice spelling as well!

Print and Go!

Game Collection:

As a teacher it is always a good idea to have those games that you can pick up quickly to fill those random few minutes of down time. I did not create these games, these are games which I have used in my classroom for so long that I do not remember where they came from. I have simply written out the rules to share with you to help you fill those moments.

My students love these games. After the first couple of run throughs of rules and practice they are able to get their dice and go on their own when instructed. Often when I have early finishers and I know they need a bit of a brain break that is not too distracting, I send them off to play one of these games.

The game "Petals on the Rose" was shared with me by a student who had gone Math Camp over 10 years ago. I use it at least once a week as an end of day activity. The kids love trying to figure out the rules!

What's included:

• Google Slides of Game Rules

How is this resource useful:

• Fun games!
• Engaging time filler.
• Practice math skills.

Gameplay:

1. The clue giver draws a card from the deck, revealing the mystery word and its associated oopsies (taboo words).
2. The clue giver must describe the word without using any of the "oopsies" listed on the card.
3. The clue giver's teammates try to guess the word based on the clues given.
4. The clue giver can use any verbal clues or gestures but must avoid the "oopsies" at all costs.
5. The clue giver's teammates can make as many guesses as they want within a time limit (usually one minute).
6. If a teammate guesses the word correctly, the team earns a point. If the clue giver uses an "oopsie," they forfeit a point.
7. After the time is up or the word is correctly guessed, play passes to the next team.
8. Play continues back and forth until all players have had a turn as the clue giver or a set number of rounds has been completed.
9. The team with the most number of points wins.

Students cite evidence to support the meaning and significance of identified symbols. Both graphic organizers are different in complexity.
