Teaching with this resource is simple! Start by showing the biography slides: through illustrations created in Monet's unmistakable style and the first-person narrative, students will approach him empathetically, seeing him first as a friend and playmate. Once the story is complete, you will find the proposed activities. "Monet's Artist" section: - Color recognition activity based on the series of paintings "The Rouen Cathedral"; - Coloring: Theory of color and color contrasts; - Redrawing and coloring a still life by Monet "The Artist's Qualities" section.

In this final phase, students will have the opportunity to chat with Monet through a specially designed AI experience to stimulate interest and engagement.

For example; anxiety, as it translates into worries, and provides children with tools (Worry Zapper & Courage Cape) to cope with the emotion of anxiety. Provides children with practical strategies to cope with anxiety. For example; taking deep breaths and using positive self-talk is a great way for kids to cope instantly with anxiety rather than just talking about their feelings. Kids learn about emotional regulation through coloring; this is how they learn to cope with the impending emotion of anxiety and is never a lesson or responsibility for the child. Children gain confidence and build their resilience by learning that they have control over their thoughts, feelings, and emotions therefore giving them a sense of independence and self-efficacy.

Don't Stir The Drama Pot-An SEL Presentation Plus SEL Coloring Page

Don't Stir The Drama Pot-An SEL Presentation Plus SEL Coloring Page
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Creative Arts, Art, Special Education Needs (SEN), Life Skills, Grade 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Coloring Pages, Writing Prompts

In this product, you will get a Google Slides lesson with SEL coloring pages and Writing prompts discussing what causes drama among friends, what makes things worse (heats it & stirs it up) and what makes things better (what cools it down). There are 10 situations to discuss as a class. You can have students use fingers (1-5) or move to stations around the room to choose what they would do in different situations. Finally, there is a reflection and a coloring activity to reinforce the importance of being drama-free. This lesson will address friendship skills, relationship skills as well as social awareness. You can use this for whole-classroom guidance lessons, small groups, and even one on one counseling. There are descriptions of what heats up (fuels) drama among friends as well as what de-escalates friendship problems. There is a 19-slide presentation using Google Slides. In the PDF, you just need to click on the image of the main cover image. This is the image of a collection of the slide presentation, the reflection sheet, as well as the mindfulness coloring activity sheet. There are slide notes on every page. Please read each slide note for each slide. This will help you have a seamless lesson with very little prep and no need to prepare for your SEL lesson. The heat-up reasons are; involving other people as messengers, bringing up past situations, gossiping, using mean words, and blaming others. The cooldown strategies are; owning your stuff (taking responsibility for your own actions), sharing your own feelings, sticking to the current situation, listening to the other person's perspective, and calming down before you react. This is a great lesson to use if you are finding students have difficulty solving their own problems among their friendship groups, small groups for girls (in particular), or hosting lunch bunch groups for girls. This is not gender specific so you can use it for both genders if needed.
