  • Activities for Building Character and Social-Emotional Learning PreK–K
    • Build attitudes of respect and caring, reduce problem behaviours, empower students to solve problems, and educate the whole child with the flexible, user-friendly activity guides in the Safe & Caring Schools® series. The lessons’ literature-based connections allow teachers to “build in” rather than “add on” social-emotional learning (SEL) throughout the day. Field-tested in classrooms across the United States, these activities when fully implemented have resulted in improved school climate, greater parent engagement, increased academic achievement, and reduction in discipline referrals.Each book offers:
      • 100+ easy-to-implement year-round activities that integrate into the daily curriculum in all subject areas
      • Monthly themes focused on empathy, bullying prevention, teamwork, decision-making, and more
      • Concise lesson formats (Read, Discuss, Do, Relate)
      • Discussion and writing prompts
      • Built-in assessment

      Use the PreK–K Guide to teach young children positive life skills through daily practice. The activities teach the whole child by allowing them to be curious, active, imaginative, and part of the learning process. This guide helps teachers work within a framework toward specific goals, but also encourages them to be creative in helping children express themselves.

  • Colouring Book and Reflections for Social Emotional Learning
    • With a unique combination of mindful colouring illustrations and reflection prompts, Colouring Book and Reflections for Social Emotional Learning effectively combines mindfulness and SEL to be used both in the classroom and at home. Each of the SEL topics features two pages of activities and prompts, mirroring the left and right sides of our brains. The left page (logical) includes a prompt for reflection through journaling or free-drawing and the right page (creative) is an illustration for colouring to promote mindfulness. Topics range from positive self-talk to empathy to trying your best.This mindful colouring book for kids stands on its own merits yet can be paired with other mindfulness curriculum to further integrate social and emotional learning into your everyday. The thirty-six mindfulness colouring pages correspond with the thirty-six weeks of the school year, and the SEL writing prompts support the weekly activities in Mindful Classrooms™ by James Butler.
