This social-emotional learning resource includes the tools you need to teach positive classroom culture and kindness at the beginning of the school year. Our SEL activities are set up to teach two weeks' worth of social-emotional learning with an emphasis on Zones of Regulation. You'll teach your students to show kindness and empathy towards others in a fun and engaging way. The activities can also be taught throughout the school year to build classroom community.

Your students will grow so much with kindness, empathy, and understanding of their emotions when you take the time to teach these skills at the beginning of the year. I hope this resource helps you build the necessary skills for your students to care for and respect each other.
