You will find a conflict resolution corner, 2 choices for a calm down corner (one file includes people clip art and the other file includes dot dudes clip art), and a self-care corner.

***NOTE: THIS BUNDLE IS MORE DISCOUNTED BECAUSE YOU WILL LIKELY ONLY USE ONE OF THE TWO COOL DOWN CORNERS.

If you're looking for the bundle for lower elementary, please click HERE: Just click here!

The descriptions for this 3rd-6th grade SEL Corner Bundle are as follows:

CONFLICT RESOLUTION CORNER:

This conflict resolution corner outlines STEP-BY-STEP instructions for helping students solve conflicts with each another.  You'll find that it looks like a flowchart when it's displayed in your classroom.

Don't have a corner or bulletin board space?  That's okay!  You will also find smaller versions of the step-by-step flowchart that students can glue into a notebook.

Are your students learning online?  No worries!  We've got you covered with a digital version in Google Forms.  Students will be taken through a series of questions to help them resolve the conflict.

This social-emotional learning file includes the following:

Back-to-School Character-Building Bulletin Board BUNDLE: Friendship, Kindness, & Gratitude Character Education Posters and Activities for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Grade

This bundle includes THREE bulletin board poster sets.

FRIENDSHIP BULLETIN BOARD:

This FRIENDSHIP bulletin board and activities product is perfect for any time of year! It was created for 3rd grade and above (NOTE: the bulletin board can be used in lower grades, but verbiage and vocabulary on the printables are more appropriate for students in 3rd grade and above).

• Use this friendship display on a bulletin board, classroom display, counseling office, or common area in your school.
• There are two choices for each letter in FRIENDSHIP. Review the choices and print the words that will work the best with your class. You can also choose to use the word FRIEND or FRIENDS in lieu of using FRIENDSHIP (perhaps your bulletin board space is limited, for example).
• The size of the letters for the bulletin board (GOOD FRIENDS ARE…) might be too large. You can adjust the size of them when you print. The letters on the image of this product (found on the cover) are printed at 65%.
• You will find a printable for each word choice (20 pages). You will likely only use the worksheets that correspond to the words you chose for your bulletin board or display.
• PLEASE BE AWARE that you may have students who don’t feel like they have friends. Always give your class the option to write about a family member, community member, pet, or other public figure (or someone they’d like to be their friend). If you are able to observe students while they complete the activities, it’s important to keep an eye out for students who appear uncomfortable or upset. Supporting these students might involve talking with them privately or deliberately planning subsequent activities where they can connect and interact with students.

12 DAYS OF KINDNESS BULLETIN BOARD:

This 12 Days of Kindness activity is perfect for any time of year but is particularly timely for Thanksgiving in November, any December holiday, or in February for Valentine's Day. It can be used for any grade level.

• Use these posters on a bulletin board, classroom display, counseling office, or common area in your school.
• Each student should complete four acts of kindness in each of the three categories during the course of 12 days OR you can simply use the letters that say “KINDNESS CHALLENGE” and ask students to complete as many acts of kindness as they possibly can.
• There is a page that students can use to track their progress towards 12 acts of kindness. Each column should have four ripped off papers from the kindness posters when the student has completed their 12 acts of kindness challenge. You may choose NOT to use this tracker if you want students to complete more than 12 acts of kindness.
• Many of these activities will need to be completed outside of school. This is PERFECT for homework in the month of December for the holidays or in February around Valentine’s Day. Class time can be used for discussing the acts of kindness and processing their feelings and experiences as they face and complete each act of kindness.
• Offer additional copies of the 12 Days of Kindness if students choose to go above and beyond the 12 days.
• It is best for students to rip ONE ACT OF KINDNESS AT A TIME (one for each of the 12 days). There are TEN acts of kindness per category (kindness to self, kindness to others, and kindness to earth) for a total of 30 acts of kindness.
• If students ALREADY engage in an activity or suggestion, encourage them to find something different. For example, you may have students who already use reusable water bottles every single day. They would naturally need to choose a different act of kindness in that category. The idea is to challenge themselves to do something new.
• Please note that you can CHOOSE THE TITLE for your bulletin board! Here are the choices included:
  • 12 DAYS OF KINDNESS
  • KINDNESS CHALLENGE
  • 12 DAYS OF KINDNESS CHALLENGE

GRATITUDE CHALLENGE BULLETIN BOARD:

This gratitude challenge activity is perfect for any time of year, but is particularly timely for Thanksgiving in November and/or any December holiday. It can be used for any grade level.

Research shows that expressing gratitude has a positive effect on mood, peer relationships, and an overall higher quality of life. Gratitude ignites the parasympathetic nervous system, which leads to feelings of calmness. Expressing gratitude releases dopamine and serotonin, which also results in a more pleasurable state of mind.

This file contains bulletin board letters that spell "GRATITUDE CHALLENGE" as well as letter to spell "RIP-N-RECOGNIZE" (these are optional for the bulletin board), 20 RIP-N-RECOGNIZE Gratitude Challenge posters in full color and black and white, teacher tips, a gratitude challenge points page, and letter writing templates.

• Use these posters on a bulletin board, classroom display, counseling office, or common area in your school.
• Set a goal for students to reach, but issue a “challenge” for students to go above and beyond the recommended goal. Each challenge (poster) is worth TWO points. Students get one point for writing the letter and an additional point for sending or delivering the letter/note. Some posters DO REQUIRE students to research an address. NOTE: The second point on any given challenge CANNOT be earned until the letter is dropped off at the post office or delivered in person.
• You will find a challenge sheet for students to keep track of their points. You can structure the challenge in whatever way works best for your class. You can ask students to RIP-N-RECOGNIZE as an early finisher activity, a bell ringer activity, for a gratitude exercise in Social Studies, or as a writing activity during your ELA block.
• You may choose NOT to use the points as an incentive and instead teach students that expressing gratitude is an inherently rewarding experience all by itself.
• Each challenge sheet has enough space for 5 challenges. Simply offer copies of the same sheet for students who complete more than 5 letters/notes.
• It is best for students to rip ONE CHALLENGE AT A TIME. Their next challenge can’t be “ripped” until they finish the first challenge they chose. This will eliminate issues with students ripping too many challenges at a time, losing the little ripped notes, and “biting off more than they can chew”.
• There are 20 challenge options for students. Some challenges might not work for some students. Honor and respect a student’s choice NOT to do challenges that don’t work for their life circumstances. For example, you might have students who don’t know any other family members outside their immediate home, students who are in a foster situation, or students who are homeless. Requiring students to complete ALL the challenges will surely put some students in a vulnerable position and that is not the goal of this activity.

NOTE: THESE FILES INCLUDE A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

*******************************

This resource is also included in Google Slides! Text boxes have already been created to make it easier for you and your students! Each slide includes two instruction solution tabs for when students accidentally delete text boxes and when they want to zoom in (to enlarge worksheets). It's super helpful for students who are not that familiar with how to use Google Slides or need the extra assistance.

*******************************

From the perspective of our students, understanding and interacting with us can be quite challenging, if not downright frustrating! In candid conversations, I've heard students express sentiments like, "Teachers seem to punish the whole class for the actions of one person," "Even though I have anxiety and struggle to speak, they insist on making me present in front of everyone," "Their lessons can be dull, and then they wonder why we zone out," "Sometimes they single me out, even when I haven't volunteered," and "They expect maturity but treat us like children." These grievances are just the tip of the iceberg. Despite our best intentions, our actions and words can often lead to frustration among our students, influencing their behavior, responses, and thoughts.

This resource enables teachers to gain insight into our students' perspectives on specific situations through real-life, everyday scenarios, and vice versa! Students also have the chance to reflect on and understand teachers' viewpoints in these situations.

One buyer stated, "This is great for helping my students practice conflict resolution when an authority figure like a teacher is involved!"

This resource presents everyday, real-life scenarios that help students develop skills for effective interaction with teachers. It aims to foster positive relationships, manage conflicts, enhance social skills and behavior, and, importantly, build confidence in handling emotions when faced with situations where teachers say or do things they find challenging. Through reflections and discussions on these scenarios, students can learn the value of recognizing and understanding various perspectives, enabling them to respond thoughtfully. They will also grasp that the tone and manner of communication can either promote harmony or create tension between teachers and students.

Moreover, this resource provides opportunities for students to:

✅ Gain insight into the motives behind teachers' actions and words.

✅ Engage with teacher situations maturely and respectfully.

✅ Explore diverse problem-solving strategies.

✅ Hone their skills in respectful communication.

✅ Reflect on their own actions and behaviors, considering how they influence teacher responses.

✅ Offer constructive suggestions to teachers for alternative approaches.

✅ Learn to negotiate and find compromises with teachers.

✅ Foster stronger and more positive relationships with teachers.

*******************************

This resource focuses on 44 common, real-life scenarios and issues that students encounter daily. It comprises 176 worksheets centered on these scenarios, each designed to prompt students to consider effective navigation strategies and practice respectful and appropriate responses.

The worksheets are available in four variations, including both print and digital formats.

✅ Worksheet Variation #1: Includes scenario with 3 questions

✅ Worksheet Variation #2: Includes scenario with 2 questions

✅ Worksheet Variation #3: Includes scenarios presented in graphic organizers, where students offer suggestions to teachers on how to handle specific situations and articulate the reasons behind their proposed ideas or solutions.

✅ **Worksheet Variation #4:**Includes scenarios without predefined questions. Instead, there is room for you to create your own questions, allowing students to write their responses accordingly.

✅ EXTRA Blank Sheets are provided without any predefined scenarios or questions, allowing you the flexibility to generate your own scenarios and questions as needed.

All worksheets are available in both print and digital formats.

*******************************

Task Cards come in the following variations as well:

• 44 COLORED with Questions
• 44 COLORED without Questions
• 44 B&W with Questions
• 44 B&W without Questions

The Scenario Task Cards are versatile and can be integrated into various instructional settings. They can serve as components of a larger lesson, be utilized in guided small groups, facilitate whole-class discussions, encourage partner discussions before sharing with the larger group or class, or even be used in one-on-one sessions with a teacher, guidance counselor, or parent/guardian!

*******************************

How/When To Use the Teacher Scenario Task Cards

Role-Playing: Students can work together in pairs or groups to enact a range of scenarios and showcase appropriate responses. Role-playing activities can also illustrate improper skill usage, inviting the 'audience' to assist in reenacting them properly. Ultimately, this activity can enhance confidence, communication, assertiveness, and social skills.

*******************************

❌ Lesson plans are not included. This product can be used in addition to your own lesson plans and in such a way that best meets the needs of your students.

This is perfect for middle school/high school, but teachers are encouraged to preview the statements and skip over any which you feel are too controversial for your student population. (I definitely stayed away from the most controversial topics).

►You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to voice their opinions, defend their positions, and even learn something new!

►The printable Reflection Sheet will allow them to reflect on the ideas presented, and asks them to discuss two issues that they may have changed their stance on after the debate and the reasons why. This is an activity I use in my classroom every year and I know your students will love it!

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:

• 35 Statements (Google Slides)

• Includes a Blank Editable Slide

• 5 Printable Classroom Signs

• Student Reflection Sheet

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE:

►If you agree with the statement, move to the side of the room labeled “Agree” or “strongly agree.” If you disagree, move to the side of the room labeled, “Disagree” or “strongly disagree.” If you’re not sure how you feel about the topic yet, move to the side of the room labeled, “Undecided.” (I typically have "undecided" students stand in the middle and hang the other posters in the four corners of the room.)

***Students should be prepared to defend their position even if they’re undecided.

WHAT'S INCLUDED....

1. Time Capsule Project

This printable Time Capsule activity packet is perfect for the beginning of the year. It is a perfect way to get to know your students and for them to get to know each other. Students will have 22 pages in their "capsule" that helps them reflect on who they are as a person, their goals, and personalities. There are plenty of creative as well as writing activities to complete. Lots of activities you would expect to see in a time capsule like letters to your future self and a list of current pressing issues happening in the world..all activities that are high-interest for Gen Z!

Place the completed time capsules in a box and unseal as a class at the end of the year. It'll be great to see how much students grow and change over the course of a single year! Alternatively, students can choose the "Unseal on Date" as 5-10 years in the future, or on graduation! What a wonderful, creative keepsake! Check the Preview to see each page!

A fun whole class activity with questions that align with student interests and are the perfect mix of silly, funny, trending, gaming & social media-related topics. No prep is needed! Whether you call it "Would You Rather" or "This or That," the prompts make a great conversation starter that kids love, and they will be begging you for more!

⭐I like to use these slides for a quick brain break. I use about 10 slides at a time!

• 100 Would You Rather Slides (Now in Google Slides!)

Note: If your district does not allow you to add to your Google Drive, or you would prefer a PDF version of this activity, simply send me a message here with your email address through the Q&A and I will email it to you after you have purchased the resource.

Ideas for using these questions:

• In centers

• To practice communicating ideas

3. Four Corners

Use this fun whole class activity to get your students up and out of their seats and making connections! You will find a few typical all about me questions, but the majority of the slides are geared toward the interests of teenagers, leaning into social media, musical artists, food, fashion and more! You definitely won't see overused questions like "what's your favorite color?" or "How many siblings do you have?" You'll see instant engagement as students realize this isn't another boring classroom game.

Simply print the included labels for each corner of your classroom and project one of the questions. Read it aloud, then students should move to the corner that corresponds with their answer choices. You'll quickly see that students will start opening up as they relax and feel confident to defend their choices.
