Make sure you are teaching SEL on a daily basis with these SEL Daily Openers and Weekly Lessons! Each of these resources are themed around a common topic with a specific objective for each week. Spend the first 10 minutes of each with a no-prep ready to go activity ! Topic: Self-Management Objective: I can exhibit self-motivation and self-discipline. Simply display the teacher Google Slides and pass out the student handbook and engage your students in an SEL topic through bellringers (CASEL aligned) while you can focus on their individual emotional needs. Additionally, you get one ready-to-use SEL lesson, all aligned to the topic and objective for the week. Finally, an easy way to manage meaningful SEL lessons!!! What is included: 1 Week's Worth of Material-- Lesson Description and Explanation Mental Health Check-Ins Teacher Slides - 5 slides- one per day (Google Slide Deck and PDF Versions) Student Handbook - 6 pages - 5 days and title slide (Colored or Black and White Versions) (also included on Google Slide Deck) SEL Activity - Social Story- Getting Homework Done- an interactive book/printable designed give students strategies to complete their homework independently with success. Daily Opener Activities - Post-Its : Students jot down their prior knowledge of the topic Social Scenario: students read a social scenario and then write how they would respond to it Be the Artist: students draw a picture related to the objective Word Search: students complete a word search related to the topic Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: students see how THEY can achieve the objective of the week by drawing a picture of themselves being successful at it. How I would use in my classroom-- I LOVE using a bellringer/opener/starter. Whatever language you use in your class, they are the best! We all know that the first few minutes is always chaos in the classroom. You have to address student needs, take attendance, and the other billion things that come up the first second your students see you. This activity is a great way to gain those 10-15 minutes back so that you can address those needs. The students start off by filling out the mental health check-in. This tiny addition to my classroom has made SO MUCH DIFFERENCE for my relationships with students. Students simply color in if they are filling Red, Yellow, or Green in that moment. You will pre-teach what those different things mean and how you will respond to them when you see student responses. Then, you simply glance over student's shoulders to see how students are coming into the classroom. I have different ways to handle when students are yellow and red, but you can customize this to your own responses. This will allow to you prove to your students that their emotional needs are valid will be met when they enter your classroom. Then, students complete the activity on the board and in their workbook. These will be the same each week with a different prompt. Familiarly is the BEST classroom management strategy. Once students get use to completing these, they will know exactly what to do each day they complete these activities. Once a week, there is a weekly lesson aligned with objective for that week! This week is a social story that gives students strategies on how to be successful completing their homework. Kids and parents really appreciate this activity !

Unions, strikes, negotiations, and the like can cause big ripples in communities across the country. This engaging case study places students at the heart of a contentious union negotiation-- with the threat of a garbage collectors strike right around the corner! The simulation takes place in the city of Cleantopia. The Waste Pros Union, representing the city's garbage collectors, are entering negotiations with the City Sanitation Department for a new contract. The current fleet of garbage trucks is aging, and many lack functioning air conditioning, leading to safety concerns and worker discomfort, as well. At the forefront of the negotiations is pay, though. Since their last contract, inflation has risen dramatically. As a result, workers feel very underpaid compared to their counterparts in other cities. In this activity , student groups (Union management, workers, and city sanitation department) will negotiate with each other and fight the clock for an agreeable contract. The groups will debate on the following fronts: Pay: Workers want a 15% raise; the city offers 3% Working Conditions: Workers demand modernized trucks with functioning air conditioning Overtime: Union wants time-and-a-half for overtime; city wants to maintain current flat rate Paternity Leave: Workers request 8 weeks of paid paternity leave; city currently offers 2 weeks What will they settle on? Will the union call for a strike? Will the city look to replace its workers? What will the public think? Questions like these and more will help learning come to life with this simulation. Included with this product is: A well designed class slide show that introduces the topic of unions, and walks students through the activity as well A teacher guide that allows you to quickly understand the simulation and the instructions that each group is getting.

This however required a lot of material and the unwelcomed task of lugging them all home with you to mark. But we used them because they were effective and allowed us to effectively assess our students understanding. NOW: Why use digital interactive notebooks? As prices decrease, many schools are moving towards a 1:1, computer-student ratio and are becoming digital, the way we teach needs to keep up. You don’t even need a class set of computer, a personal device (cell phone, laptop, tablet, etc. will work just as well). Digital interactive notebooks provide all the same means of organization and assessment but without the physical notebook. This… 1) Saves you from bringing them back and forth/storing them in your class. 2) Purchasing all the necessary supplies. 3) Having them get lost, misplace pages, etc. Once you purchase, you’ll get a direct link. This link will allow you to place your own copy of the digital notebook into your Google Drive folder. From there, simply distribute the file to your students. No notebooks, no glue, no scissors, not even a USB in sight. Everything is stored and can be assessed in the cloud from any computer in the world. If your students go on holiday, they can access it. If they’re sick, they can access it. What activities will you find inside my Digital Interactive Notebooks? • Interactive drag-and-drop activities • Embedded Videos that play inside the slides along with questions • Calculation questions • Audio recorders – students record and upload their own auditory answers to questions • Fill-in-the-blanks • Drawings – students create their own drawing then easily upload them to their slides using their device or computer • Research questions • Extension questions for early finishers, those wanting extra credit, or incorporated into the mainstream assignment • Vocabulary check on the entire unit • Lots more Click here to get immediate access to a sample file so you can see exactly what’s being offered → http://bit.ly/TWF-DINB . Keep in mind that the sample file is for my SPACE notebook but it does give you a good idea of how the resource is structured. What if my school won’t pay for Google products or access to Google Classroom? No problem, G-Suite as it’s called, is completely free and includes everything you’ll need to access your digital notebooks. What if your students don’t have internet access for some reason? These notebooks can easily be made available off-line for access anywhere. Left-side/Rights-side. Is there a place for students to include their own notes? Yes! That’s the beauty of going digital. You don’t need a left and right side. When you or your students want some more room, just add a slide and go to town. Worried about plagiarism? I use turnitin.com to ensure my students are submitting their own work. However, I attempt to make these as interactive and individual as possible, which all but eliminates cheating. Do you feel that your students will miss out on the hands-on experience they receive from traditional interactive notebooks? In today’s world, I don’t think that’s a concern. Your students are and need to be well versed in the world of technology and how to manipulate it to suit their needs. This resource will help.
