Hey There!

I'll be posting FREE lessons here, ready to go. Often, there will be a blog associated with it, and I'll share that here too. Teaching is hard. I've been doing it for almost 25 years, and after awhile, you have tons of "goodies" that you can pull out when needed. I'm dedicated to helping new and untenured teachers (and those who are just out of ideas from the chaos.).

SEL in a Squiggle
 

Squiggle to use for activity

I've got 10 to 20 minutes. What can I do? Don't worry! I've got you. 

Give every student a piece of paper with a squiggle on it. You can make it up yourself, or there's some examples online. The above one is what I used. 

The 10 minute version is for kiddos to just create and share.

The 20 minute SEL version leads to conversations that will help build community in your class. Blog is linked.

These questions are opinion/philosophical in nature. They were created to generate interest before we began The Outsiders. However, they can be adjusted for your needs. Just make a copy!
