Social Emotional Learning Slides

Do you ever have a picture in your mind of something that you want to use, so you scour the internet, Teachers Pay Teachers, blogs, etc. and still can't find what you are looking for? This happened to me with my SEL lessons. I was not happy with the program that the county I worked for at the time used. I wanted something that was going to follow the same routine each week and just swap out the topic and activities. 

So I started working on this project in the summer of 2024 and built it throughout the year. I have gone back and fixed things that I discovered worked better as I was using the slides and now I am ready to share with everyone!

Each week follows the same routine.

Monday - Introduce SEL Focus

• ask the same three questions: what does it look like, sound like, and feel like?
• show a short video to introduce the topic

Tuesday - Read Aloud

• I tried to include 2 different books to choose from for each SEL focus
• I also tried to include a link to a video of the book being read aloud if possible

Wednesday - Activity

• the activities that were planned for Wednesdays tend to be more hands-on or independent activities that allow the student to explore the SEL focus

Thursday - Let's Chat

• one slide has a quote that students should think about the meaning of and how it relates to the SEL focus for the week
• one slide has a what would you do scenario for students to think about and discuss with a partner or whole group

Friday - Fun Activity

• this day is a little different each week depending on the topic, it may be a whole class or small group activity or it will sometimes be another independent task
