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:

• an image of a sample conflict resolution corner already set up
• letters for the title of the corner (Conflict Resolution Corner...)
• title poster (Identify Conflict: What is my conflict?)

COOL DOWN CORNER (this bundle includes TWO options for this file):

This cool down corner was designed to help students regulate their emotions.  Teaching students to be more mindful and to develop self-control has never been more important.

You will find everything you need to create a safe space for students to decompress and calm down in a comfortable, supportive setting.

If you have any questions, please ask me prior to purchasing!

AND AGAIN IN CASE YOU MISSED IT... IF YOU TEACH MORE THAN ONE GRADE LEVEL, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BUNDLE FOR MULTIPLE GRADE LEVELS BECAUSE THE LETTERS FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL AND THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL ARE THE SAME! Please message me if you are interested in more than one grade level and I'm happy to create a custom bundle for you.
