In this product, you will combine graphing and SEL. This is the perfect back-to-school or get-to-know-you activity in any class-not just math! Students will receive a graphing page and a page with questions. Each question has a coordinate after it that the students plot on the graph. When the student is done plotting all the coordinates, they will draw a line to each coordinate and create a very unique shape. Some of the statements are; I like tacos, I have a pet, I have a sibling, I play a sport, I like sushi, I prefer outside to inside, I am an optimist, I like board games , my name has more than 5 letters, I have traveled outside the country, I speak more than one language, and I love gardening-among more. There are 20 statements. If a statement is not true for the student, they simply cross it off or skip to the next statement. This is a great resource for having students share and get to know each other, you will also get to know your students quite well from this activity. This would also be a great advisory activity at the beginning of the year. Another idea is to post these on a bulletin board afterward and admire the different unique shapes of your students. Students can also create an image from their shape if they wish-such as an animal, person, object, etc. One of the objectives of this resource is to allow students to reflect on their likes and dislikes and personality. The other objectives are for students to share commonalities and embrace differences. Lastly, you as the teacher will really get to know your students. This is fully editable so feel free to change the questions to your liking. You know your students best! You do not need to be a math teacher to use this resource! It's great for school counselors, specialists and advisory teachers as well.

Caught in the Act of Being Kind
Special Resources, Social Skills, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, Activities

I’ve been doinga lot of thinking lately about our society and how divided we are, so I came up with the idea of this character building and classroom community activity,Caught in the Act of Being Kind, to help our children become kinder to one another and adults. You can do this with one classroom, your team or the entire school. To make it even more effective, it can be used at home with parents and siblings. This is a simple idea, whenever you or your students see someone doing a kind deed for someone else, they will give that person aCaught in the Act of Being Kindcard or the receiver of the kind act may give the person a card to be put into theirCaught in the ActBooklet. As educators, we know that when we do something kind or charitable for another person, it is not only beneficial to them, but it allows us to feel some warm fuzzies too. This can be done throughout the school year. ☞The objectives of this resource are: ☺To improve self image. ☺To learn how to give and receive compliments ☺To build classroom/school community ☺To reinforce writing skills ☞Research has shown that: ♥When you do something kind for someone else, you feel good inside. ♥The greatest thinkers believe, happiness is found in helping others. ♥Giving is a powerful pathway to personal growth and lasting happiness. ♥This is what other teachers are saying about this resource. ♥“I love having something like this that encourages kindness and doing the right thing no matter the age group!" Thanks!! by Katherine G ♥ "This resource will certainly help to encourage a positive atmosphere in classrooms. Our school used a similar program years ago, and the students loved it. Thanks for the clever and customizable certificates." by Gramma Elliott ♥ “Thank you for making my teaching life less stressful by inventing the wheel so I don't have to. Bless you for all that you do for teachers everywhere.” By Kristin Holm ☞This is what you’ll get: ☺Complete lesson plans ☺Letter to parents ☺Cover page in color & black/white ☺Caught in the Act cards ☺Caught in the Act blank pages When I did this activitywith my 6th graders, Words can’t express the way everyone felt after giving and receiving their cards. The twinkle in their eyes and the smiles on there faces were priceless. I can say that we became more like to a family and less like a classroom. The end of the year came too soon and we all hugged and cried as we said good-bye. It was a year that I’ll never forget and I’m sure they won’t either. ☞This resource can be used for: ✔ Middle School ✔ Upper Elementary ✔ Special Ed Classrooms ♥Other teachers have bought these resources, check them out...

Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities

In this SEL Boom Deck, students will learn about flower (healthy), weed (bothersome) and cactus (unhealthy) friendship behaviors. It is important for students to learn some of the behaviors that are bothersome and frustrating and to learn that they do need to address these sooner rather than later. Just like a weed ignored or not wanting to be dealt with, it can get worse and impact the friendship in a negative way. Some examples of flower (healthy) behaviors are; letting your friends have other friends, being there to help, standing up for them (being an upstander), and many more. Some of the weed (bothersome) examples are; bragging, copying a friend, not paying a friend back for borrowing money, and more. Some examples of cactus (unhealthy) behaviors are; being mad if something good happens to a friend, putting a friend down, gossiping, not letting a friend join their other friends, and many more. There are 24 task playing cards and 5 instructional cards so this can be played as a whole classroom lesson, a small group lesson, with partners or assigned to individuals to do as homework. There is a handout that matches the concepts for students to fill out to remember the different friendship behaviors and a question about what they can do if there friend is exhibiting either a weed or cactus type friendship behavior. This is a Boom Deck that is great for 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, and sixth grade. If there are strong readers or the classroom teacher or school counselor can read each slide, this could be something 2nd grader also do. You know your students best and can judge whether the examples are relevant to your students. Please review the Boom Deck Terms Of Use as because of AI, it does not allow me to post them here due to it is the same verbiage as each product.

Fear of insects Social Story

Fear of insects Social Story
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities

For children who experience intense fear or phobias related to insects, this social story resource provides supporting explanations and coping strategies. Specifically tailored for children on the autism spectrum who may struggle reading social cues, the story aims to logically address the reasons behind insect fears and equip children with skills to manage them. Using a reassuring tone, the social story explains how most insects pose no real danger to humans, as many are so tiny compared to a person’s size. While some insects like bees can sting, the story gives facts about how insect stings rarely cause serious harm. It also highlights all the useful things insects do, like pollinating plants. The second half of the story outlines constructive ways children can deal with insect fears when encountered. This includes techniques like staying calm, thinking logical thoughts about how small insects are, and reminding themselves that insects are useful to their earth. By addressing both the emotional and reality-based sides of insect fears, this social story uses clear language and visuals to teach autistic children coping methods. It validates their feelings while also gently challenging catastrophic thinking. The final outcome is a set of strategies children can employ themselves when afraid, giving them skills, reassurance, and power to manage phobias. These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.

Anxiety Thermometer

Anxiety Thermometer
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities

Monitoring anxiety is essential for emotional health. This creative worksheet helps kids visualize their stress levels using a simple yet insightful “thermometer” model illustrating low, moderate, and high amounts of worry alongside a space for children to fill in their own tailored calming strategies. The Anxiety Thermometer features a vertical scale with increasing degrees of anxious feelings depicted in different shades of purple. Students circle where their concern currently registers. Prompts then encourage writing specific situations that spike their thermometers into each zone, like test stress or social evaluations. There’s also space to brainstorm personalized coping tactics to implement when reaching different levels of emotional arousal. This versatile tool increases self-awareness around triggers and appropriate responses - key skills for independent regulation. Teachers can display it in classrooms and have students check-in during escalated moments. Counselors can reference it in sessions exploring anxiety. Caregivers can also employ it at home when tensions run high. The engaging thermometer makes tracking emotional patterns feel non-threatening for young children through teens. Instead of harshly suppressed anxiety, kids gain the ability to name worries early and apply tailored calming skills. Over time, staying ahead of their anxiety prevents boiling over into crisis territory. Simple yet tremendously insightful, this worksheet transforms emotional awareness into empowered action. By honoring all feelings with compassion, children build resilience to thrive. Included in this resource is 1 PDF worksheet

WAITING PLAN And STRATEGIES, Activities & Social Skills Story
Special Resources, Social Skills, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, Activities

Waiting plans and strategies for how to wait are very important for children to develop as they move through elementary school. Some children need explicit instruction to learn how {and why} to wait. Do you have students who have a difficult time waiting? Do they engage in challenging behaviors when they have to wait? Do they get upset when someone else gets something or gets chosen first? I have many students for whom this is a real struggle. This resource includes 5 activities and 2 social stories that will help your students learn how and when to wait and what strategies will help them to wait. They will create a strategy plan that is just for them.

School Assemblies Social Story

School Assemblies Social Story
Special Resources, Life Skills, Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities

School assemblies can be overwhelming for some students who struggle with changes to routine or large, noisy gatherings. That's why this School Assemblies Social Story is an invaluable tool for easing anxiety and promoting skills. Social stories use simple language and visuals to walk children step-by-step through challenging situations. This school assemblies story uses a reassuring tone and eye catching pictures to explain what assemblies are, who attends them, what to expect, and tips for coping. The story covers arriving at the assembly, sitting quietly, appropriate responses, avoiding distractions, and more. Using concrete examples and positive reinforcement, this social story builds understanding of assembles as well as skills like following directions, focus, and self-regulation. Teachers can review the story with individuals or small groups to reduce apprehension and prevent sensory overload. The clear explanations and real-world scenes help students know what to anticipate. With its therapeutic approach, this School Assemblies Social Story fosters confidence, independence and inclusion. It is an excellent resource for special education teachers, counselors, and other professionals supporting neurodiverse learners or students with behavioral challenges. By articulating social expectations in a comprehensive yet accessible way, this story empowers children to successfully participate in assemblies. These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.
