Boundaries workbook geared towards upper middle school students. Students are first introduced to what a boundary is, are shown four different types, and are given guidelines as to how they can respect others boundaries. 

Students are then provided with six different activities. Activities include: 

1. A boundaries sort. Students will be provided with different scenarios. They’ll have to distinguish if a boundary is being crossed or respected. 

2. Self reflection. Students will have to evaluate which boundary they struggle with the most, challenges they’ve faced when trying to follow others boundaries, and who they struggle setting boundaries with the most.

3. Responses sort. Students will be provided with different ways they can respond to after they’ve crossed a boundary. They’ll have to differentiate between responses that show their apologetic and responses that show their being manipulative and insensitive. 

4. Boundaries circle. Students will get to map what they are comfortable with depending on who they’re with; family, friends, teachers, strangers, etc. 

5. Self-reflection on what they’ll allow and won’t, depending on their comfort level. 

6. Reflection on what they’ve learned and why boundaries are important. 

Workbook ends with a boundaries pledge. Students are asked to sign if they can commit to setting and keeping others boundaries. This can be a great workbook to use in small groups or individual students who need to work on boundaries. 

Resources comes in colored and black/white versions. No prep, just print and go!

This social emotional learning lesson uses Langston Hughes' short story Thank You, M'am. During this SEL lesson, students complete a pre-reading journal activity, read the short story (not included), answer questions related to the text, and contemplate the ways that they can build trust with the people in their lives. There is also an opportunity for whole class discussion regarding the idea of building trust.

This resource includes:

- a slides presentation to follow

- 3 worksheets: pre-reading, questions about trust in the text, and building trust reflection

- an answer sheet

Students care deeply about trust. They want to be trusted, but they don't always understand how their actions contribute to their trustworthiness. This lesson encourages students to think about how they can build trust with the people in their lives, and makes them think about what they might receive in return for demonstrating their trustworthiness. Students will think about the ways Roger showed that he was untrustworthy, the things he did to gain Mrs. Jones' trust back, and what he ended up receiving for demonstrating that he was trustworthy.

Why Teach Mindfulness to Kids?

There are so many reasons to teach your young learners mindfulness! Mindfulness teaches us to focus on the present. It helps us become more aware of our thoughts, our feelings, and what’s around us. Mindfulness helps children who may find it difficult to self-regulate at times. Being mindful can help kids build self-awareness and self-esteem.

These Mindfulness exercises can be used by special education teachers, preschool or primary school teachers, or even parents. Everyone can benefit from practicing mindfulness. Each lesson is a stand-alone lesson to build on your students' Mindfulness Techniques in a fun and interactive way!

"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.

This interactive, fun, and lighthearted activity is made for a creative way to discuss identity and the growth and change that comes with becoming who we hope to be and the impact we hope to make. This activity includes a digital download that is ready to go for your next classroom lesson - included in the presentation is a "ready for use" Google Slide (adjust and personalize if needed), an interactive icebreaker, directions for the main activity (Blindfolded Self-Portraits!), reflection questions, and discussion points throughout the lesson. Check the speaker notes section for extra tips and tricks for implementation! My students absolutely LOVED this activity and I especially loved the discussion that came with it. It is a must each year for my middle school students now - but I can envision this activity being successful for multiple grade levels - Upper elementary, middle, and high school! All you need to prep is a blank piece of paper for each student and this lesson is all ready for your use!

This lesson emphasizes identifying stress as a process that takes place in the brain and body, identifying when stress can be helpful (eustress), when stress becomes overwhelming (distress), and emphasizes the use of coping skills to mitigate the negative effects of stress.

I find older kids often know their preferred copings skills and have often already spent time with their helping adults exploring/practicing them. So, this lesson does NOT teach specific coping skills. Instead, it explains what is going on in the brain and body when stress is felt, how stress is natural and normal, and why use of coping skills is important to capitalize on stress when we need it. Teaching about stress as normal, and even positive, offers a validating and empowering approach to encouraging the use of positive coping skills.

The slides and worksheet are simple to increase comprehension and suit middle through high school students.

This lesson includes presentation notes (discussion points and questions slide-by-slide included) (2 pages), slides to present (8 slides) , and a worksheet (1 page).

These lesson plans were made with the intention to help simplify the demanding task of planning, researching and trying different techniques before you found the "perfect one". The 'Welcome to Pre-K' Pre-K Lesson Plans offers interesting, interactive and simply activities to help with the first week of craziness.

While this lesson is intended for Ga Pre- K teachers, anyone working in Pre-K or Kindergarten will be able to use these lessons and tailor to your own needs.
