Free Yearly Updates! Social Emotional Learning is easy with these 237 daily SEL Question of the Day Google Slides. Just 5-15 minutes each morning is all you need to integrate social-emotional learning with writing while practicing speaking and listening skills every day, all year long.

Each question of the day is presented on its own slide with an image and a weekly positive affirmation. Throughout the week, students will be asked questions that relate to self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Each Monday, the affirmation statement includes a Youtube link to a related short video, song, or picture book.

This yearlong resource includes 240 slides (that start on July 29, 2024 and run through June 27, 2025) and can be used alone, or in conjunction with my 2024-25 Student Planner and 2024-25 Teacher Planner. Click to purchase all 3 products as a BUNDLE PACK.

The 1st - 5th grade teachers at my elementary school use these slides every day as part of their morning meeting. Sometimes the kids share out to the whole class, while other times the kids meet in small groups or respond in writing. We often use these questions to remind students about their PBIS skills, AVID skills, or soft skills that we are constantly reinforcing.

Here's what's included:

• 237 daily slides from July 29, 2024 - June 27, 2025
