SEL Flashcards for Social Emotional Learning with SEL Coloring Pages

SEL Flashcards for Social Emotional Learning with SEL Coloring Pages
Special Resources, Life Skills, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Preschool, Kindergarten, Grade 1, 2, 3, Activities, Centers, Games, Worksheets & Printables, Flashcards, Worksheets, Coloring Pages

In this SEL product, you will get SEL Flashcards for Social Emotional Learning. You will also get SEL coloring pages because there are two different pages of emotions/feelings. Both pages have a black and white version and a color version. The black and white version allows your students to color their own faces and images. The emotions listed are; happy, sad, silly, proud, shy confused, scared, excited, angry, tired, loving, sick, disgusted, cry, jealous, disappointed. These flashcards can be used for so many purposes. I have used these flashcards for Go Fish games where the students have to ask for a certain feeling. You will need to make two copies of the colored emotions poster to make this game work. If a student asks for "angry" and the student they asked has it, that student give the card to the one who asked and that student places the match down on the table and names a time they felt angry. I have also used this resource for memory games. You would, again, make two copies of each emotion. Then you would mix up the cards and place them face down (I would highly recommend cardstock) in a random order. Students then would choose two cards and reveal the emotion cards. If they are a match, then the student can share when they have felt that way. If it is not a match, they would place the cards face down again the the next student would take a turn. This is a fun and interactive game but also helps students discuss their feelings in a non-threatening way. This resource can be used as a whole class activity where students color their flashcards and then cut them out. They can randomly pick a card and name a time they felt that way. This can also be used as a center activity for Go Fish or Memory (as I described above). The ways to use these Emotion SEL Flashcards are endless!

Guided Reading Level N - China (with Lesson Plan)
ELA, Resources for Teachers, Reading Comprehension, Reading, Science, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Social Studies, Geography, Language Development, History, Grade 2, 3, 4, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Teacher Tools, Centers, Activities, Literacy Readers, Quizzes, Quizzes and Tests, Assessments, Lesson Plans

This Guided Reading Book - China (Level N) with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: Look At the World: China Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Social Studies (Geography/History/Culture) Primary Topic: China’s land, history, culture, and change Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Book Teaches Best How China’s geography includes very different landforms and regions (mountains, deserts, rice fields, coastlines). How rivers shaped early settlement and farming, including the Huang He (Yellow River) valley and the Yangtze River. How ideas and goods traveled through dynasties and trade routes (writing, inventions, the Silk Road). How important places and structures reflect history (the Great Wall, Beijing, the Forbidden City). How China continues to change today while balancing growth, traditions, and environmental concerns. Learning Goals Students will describe the variety of landscapes and regions found in China using text details. Students will explain why people settled near the Huang He (Yellow River) long ago. Students will identify examples of how ideas and inventions spread beyond China’s borders. Students will describe how the Great Wall and the Silk Road are connected to protection and trade. Students will summarize key changes over time described in the text (dynasties, later government changes, modern growth). Students will explain how language, festivals, and conservation are part of life in China today. Key Vocabulary From the Text dynasties — ruling families that lead for long times. civilization — a large, organized society with shared culture. merchants — people who buy and sell goods. dialects — different ways people speak the same language. conservation — protecting plants and animals so they can survive. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What have you heard or learned about China before today? Comprehension questions: What kinds of land and places does the text say China has across East Asia? Comprehension questions: Why do historians call the Huang He (Yellow River) valley important in the text? Comprehension questions: What does the text say merchants and travelers traded on the Silk Road? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.

FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Pianos Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Music (Performing Arts) / Reading Informational Text Primary Topic: How the piano was invented and improved Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best How the piano idea began around 1700 in Florence, Italy , with Bartolomeo Cristofori trying to make music “gentle or bold” depending on touch. How the piano’s key action works: a mechanism sends a leather-covered hammer to strike strings, then pulls back so the string keeps vibrating . How dampers stop strings from ringing—and lifting them lets tones ring longer. How information spread the invention: Scipione Maffei published an article with a diagram , leading builders like Gottfried Silbermann to make pianos based on Cristofori’s design. How the piano grew for bigger spaces: sturdier builds and a wider range from about four octaves to 88 keys , changing where music could be played (homes, schools, apartments, stages). Learning Goals Students will explain why Cristofori began tinkering with a new keyboard instrument around 1700. Students will describe how a key triggers the hammer-and-string action using details from the passage. Students will explain how a player’s touch can make the sound softer or louder according to the text. Students will identify how Maffei helped the piano idea travel and name one builder mentioned who made pianos afterward. Students will describe how the piano’s keyboard range changed over time and state the number of keys many pianos have today. Key Vocabulary From the Text harpsichords — older keyboards that stayed mostly one volume. inventory — a recorded list that showed a piano existed. mechanism — moving parts that make the piano action work. dampers — parts that stop strings from ringing. octaves — groups of notes used to describe keyboard range. Cored Ed Encyclopedia Overview The Cored Ed Encyclopedia is a weekly series of lessons that you can pick up and use right away. These short readings fit into whatever time you have available. Each one includes a warm-up, a reading, and a set of questions, but it’s flexible — you can do just the reading, the full lesson, or skip the writing section if you need to. Each lesson focuses on a single topic so students don’t get lost. The writing is clear but never childish, making it perfect for grades two through five. Topics range from animals and science to history, inventions, and everyday things. No matter the level of the student, everyone should take away at least one new idea or fact from each lesson. The materials are easy to print, easy to explain, and require no setup. They work well for whole-class teaching, partner work, or independent study.
