Students collaborate to design and create posters for each expectation, blending artistry with learning. These visual aids serve as constant, colorful reminders of the classroom culture you're building together.

4. Expectations and SEL Writing Prompts: Deepen your students' reflection and introspection with SEL-aligned writing prompts. These thought-provoking prompts encourage students to connect classroom expectations with their emotional and social growth, fostering maturity and self-awareness.

Need an awesome Movement Activity? I have just the thing for you! This creative Conscious Discipline “Breathing Pose” resource was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. It is best to use one of these images per day or per week, so these resources can last a while. Focus on the specific animal shown and discuss where this animal would be and how it would breathe and pose to gain focus. Make sure you demonstrate the pose with your class. Ask a student to help demonstrate this pose, and the sillier you are, yet focused, the more the students will want to participate with you in each of these fun and motivating animal breathing poses. This is a great SEL strategy! I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

Conflict Resolution Corner: Social Problem Solving Strategies for Older Kids

Social-emotional learning has never been more important!  This conflict resolution corner outlines STEP-BY-STEP instructions for helping students to solve conflicts with one another.  You'll find that this problem solving strategy looks like a flowchart when it's displayed in your classroom. You or your school counselor could introduce it as a conflict resolution guidance lesson and then give a few scenarios to help students with friendship conflict resolution. After this you can display it in a corner of your room so that students can refer to it when resolving conflicts.

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?)
• flowchart questions to determine the next steps for students
• arrows and other images (lightbulbs, yes/no cards) to embellish your conflict resolution corner
• posters with steps to follow when resolving a conflict
• a feelings poster
• conflict resolution tips for students (1 page)
• posters for the following:  I-Messages, Listening & Checking for Understanding, Apologizing, and Accepting an Apology
• small versions of every poster/card
• black-and-white versions of every page

This file was created for upper elementary students in 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th grade.  Using it with younger kids would require a great deal of support (the vocabulary used in the resource is above a primary level).

This file was created for upper elementary students. If you'd like to take at the lower elementary file, you can find it here: Conflict Resolution Corner for Primary Grades

NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

This product includes a digital option (as well as the no-prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet. The digital option is in GOOGLE FORMS.

MANAGING MY VOICE LEVELS - GETTING MY LEARNERS

Learning to adjust volume to different environments and situations is a complex social skill. Children need to consider not only the social situation but also use empathy to consider how their voice volume affects others. This then requires impulse control for children to regulate their own behaviour and emotions.

This comprehensive workbook provides posters, social narrative, multiple worksheets, activities and games. There is a bit of everything to cater for everyone! Based on an analogy of car speeds, this workbook explores the different voice volume levels that are appropriate for different social settings and environments.

This workbook includes the following:

- What is a Speedometer?

- Voice Volume Speeds

- Understanding your Voice Volume Speeds Summary Page

- Voice Volume Speeds Poster

- Social Narrative “When Your Volume is….”

FREE GIFT with purchase! Get our Winter Yoga Coloring Book for free with purchase*!

For many children, the first thought that comes to mind when winter approaches is “snow day!” The winter can be a time of hibernation as it is cold outside, many extracurricular activities have slowed down, and the days get darker much earlier. When children are cooped up inside, they can become restless and bored quite easily. However, the winter yoga sequence is a great way to promote physical activity and encourage movement during a restless time.

The Winter Sequence is a 13 page PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper. We recommend cutting out each card and taping/gluing on a 4x6 index card or card stock. For added durability, laminate each card.

• Designed for kids of all ages

• Includes printable yoga deck

• Learn 5 yoga poses

• Includes additional yoga activity instructions

• Includes mandala coloring page for relaxation

• Printable journal to reflect on your practice

• Perfect for practicing anywhere! Use this deck at home, school, park, or when traveling!

*For FREE Winter Yoga Coloring Book email us at lara@flowandgrowkidsyoga.com. Now through 1/10/2019.
