3rd Grade Social Emotional Learning Resources

Are you looking for an easy way to improve student behaviors? This is a fun, easy, print and go activity.

I use the secret missions with my students. Simply print the packet, cut out, and post the missions in your room (be sure to cover each mission with a "secret mission" card".

Then the magic begins. Each morning during your morning meeting time chose a kiddo to uncover a mission. Discuss the mission, the importance of it, what it looks like. I generally have a secret task force who also watches for the behaviors. Then when your children are "caught" they earn a party point/tally/ball (whatever reinforcer you use) for your class. Currently my kids are working to earn hot chocolate with toppings.

I hope this is something fun for you and your kiddos. Please be sure to follow me for additional resources and updates!

Transform your classroom into a haven of tranquility with our "Calm Down Corner Pass." A calm down corner empowers students to self regulate and manage their emotions effectively, fostering a supportive and compassionate learning environment. Perfect for Year 3-6 students, a Calm Down Corner is designed to seamlessly integrate into your classroom routine, providing a structured approach to emotional wellbeing.

• Empowers Self-Regulation: Encourages students to recognise their emotions and take proactive steps to calm down, promoting self awareness and emotional intelligence.
• Easy to Use: Simply hand out the pass to a student who needs a break. The pass grants them access to a designated calm down area where they can relax and regroup.
• Promotes Positive Behaviour: Reinforces positive behaviour by providing a safe space for students to manage their emotions without disrupting the class.
• Durable Design: Laminate and ensure the pass withstands daily classroom use.

How to Use:

1. Introduce the Pass: Explain the purpose and benefits of the Calm Down Corner Pass to your students. Make sure they understand when and how to use it.
2. Designate a Calm Down Area: Set up a quiet, comfortable space in your classroom with calming resources like mindful coloring sheets, sensory tools, and relaxation prompts.
3. Distribute the Pass: When a student feels overwhelmed, they can ask for the pass. You can also offer it proactively if you notice a student struggling.
4. Time for Reflection: Allow the student to spend a few minutes in the calm down area to relax and regain focus.
5. Positive Reinforcement: After the break, engage in a brief conversation with the student about their feelings and reinforce the positive choice they made.

Creating a calm and supportive classroom atmosphere is essential for fostering student wellbeing and academic success. A calm down corner, designed well, is a simple yet effective tool to help students manage stress and emotions, leading to a more harmonious and productive learning environment.

These 10 free printing penmanship practice pages let your elementary students practice their printing and cursive all while writing (and hopefully internalizing) a weekly positive affirmation statement. It's perfect for individual practice or use as a centers activity. This PDF document includes 10 sample handwriting practice pages - 5 printing pages and 5 cursive pages - and is printable.

If you like this product, consider purchasing Printing Handwriting Practice with 48 Weekly Positive Affirmations and Cursive Handwriting Practice with 48 Weekly Positive Affirmations. The full resource can be a stand-alone product or work in conjunction with the 2023-24 Teacher Planner, 2023-24 Student Planner, and Question of the Day Google Slides. The same 48 weekly positive affirmations are included in all of the resources.

In my own 5th grade classroom, I printed this document out, placed each page in a sheet protector, and bound them in a binder for use in a center activity. Students use a whiteboard marker to practice the page of the week. It save me from printing a ton of copies and after the initial set up is done, I have an easy activity to throw into my centers rotation. Printing pages can be used in any order you want.

Please note: If you have trouble printing, be sure your printer drivers are up-to-date.

"Spice" it up and instruct students to decorate their "personalized order" anyway that they'd like. You could do so much with this activity - incorporate life skills by asking students to order their own drink, intertwine creativity by asking them to incorporate their own special ingredients into their drink, and then, of course, "fill it up" with all of the things that they are grateful and thankful for! So sweet and fun! This would also make a cute bulletin board as well.
