8th Grade Social Emotional Learning Resources

A great little get-to-know you activity, suitable for new classes where students don't know each other well yet. It also encourages students to think a little more deeply about themselves and how sharing such details may help them to broaden their friendships.

In this product, students will write about experiences in for which they feel gratitude and expand upon that experience. If you wish to purchase the full product, a link is included on the last page of the product.

This product can be used for 2nd - 12th grade, but can be used for younger or older students depending on maturity and academic level.

Students can reflect on what they're good at, what they're still working on, and mistakes that have let them grow as an individual. Includes a motivational quote that students can color/decorate as they'd like.

This resource is a simple template for an apology letter. While working with middle school students, I heard a lot of snarky comments being spewed without much forethought. I started having students write apology letters when those comments came out. The template is designed to help students think about their intentions, how they likely made the other person feel, and what they will do differently in the future.

This resource should accompany the play The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett. This resource includes a notes sheet with resources for students to learn about the four communication styles: passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, and assertive. Students are asked to think about their own communication styles.

There is also a Google Slides assignment for students to complete by explaining the communication styles of the characters in The Diary of Anne Frank. Students should name the style that they feel best fits each character and explain their reasoning.

Finally!! A packet of independent activities that's perfect for early finishers in your Upper Elementary or Middle School classroom! It'll keep your kids busy and coming back for more!

Roll a Story

This worksheet challenges students to use perspective taking skills and answer questions about someone they care about. Students are prompted to answer about the feelings/preferences of someone they know, the thoughts behind why they feel that way, and to look for something in common (thoughts, experiences, motivations) between themselves and this person.

This worksheet aims to give students a chance to practice "stepping in to someone else's shoes" and extending their understanding of that persons experience.

This is an EDITABLE 3" x 3" Post-It Note Templates that are re-usable.

In this download, I have included step-by-step directions on how to print on Post-It notes on the template. A template for the 3" x 3" square-sized sticky notes is included and is EDITABLE for you to use while creating your own printable post-it note designs.

These post-it note templates can be used for motivational inspiration for your class/children, or any way that you feel your class/children would need support and guidance.

Thank you so much for your continued support!
