Life skills slides for kids! This school year my team and I noticed that lots of our students are lacking basic life skills such as how to pack their own backpack, clean up after themselves, say sorry, put on a jacket, tie their shoes, etc. I made these slides to introduce these life skills and explicitly teach what they are. This would be great to use during community circle, morning meetings, and also adaptive classrooms. This is a living document so I will be adding slides as I come up with more ideas.

Presentation is in Canva so the link to it is in the document that you download. The link in there does not require a Canva account to access it.

In this accessible, simple learning sequence, explore SEL with children through yoga and mindfulness.
