WOW! This has been such an amazing resource to use with my K-3 special education students during our virtual learning time together. They absolutely LOVE the activities, the videos, read alouds- all of it! This has been so helpful to organize my social skills instruction, while also allowing me to differentiate to meet my students' individual needs. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I used this resource on my online learning platform. Parents and students loved these activities! It was especially helpful for parents who knew their children needed some additional social-emotional learning, but were unsure how to approach it. I incorporated it into my literacy activities as there was usually a paired reading, writing, or listening activity.

My sons love doing these activities on the iPad and I love not having to print and prepare activities to only use them one time. This has been a great homeschool resource! Thanks for this digital version. The content, ideas, and organization of the units make this very easy to use and it covers skills that my children need.

This is a great digital resource that can be used in either the classroom or for online learning. Easy to follow and my students loved it.

I am STRUGGLING to teach my class social and emotional skills this year remotely, is there any chance this will help?
I 100% believe that is curriculum can and will help YOU or any other teacher that is struggling to find ways to teach SEL through distance learning. This program also works great for a hybrid or in-person teaching environment.
Schedule 15-30 minute time blocks for daily social-emotional learning. Then, teach the lessons and assign the activities throughout the week.
I want to use this in person. Do you have a printable version, as well as a digital one?
Yes, mind+heart comes as a printable and digital curriculum as well.
If you are wanting the benefits of the digital activities, while still having tools to print and use, I recommend the combo resources that have both (link below).
Do I need to teach everything in a certain order?
No way! You can pick and choose what you use based on your individual needs and classroom schedule. I recommend starting with the Emotions and Self-Regulations unit first to build strong emotional skills that will guide lessons in future units on social development. But you know your students best, so select lessons that you think they need right now!
I don't have much time in my schedule to teach these types of lessons. What do you suggest?
Make time for social-emotional lessons as much as you can. Whether it's a short block of time each day, during your morning meeting or specific SEL block, these lessons will make an impact on the children you teach. All it takes is 15-30 minutes a few times a week!
Teach them early on and often throughout the year - during classroom meetings or combine with your writing block. The versatile activities can be used whenever you have time - after a lesson, as morning work, or as centers. Get creative!
I use SEESAW to teach my students online. Are these lessons ready for me to use on that platform?
The K-2 curriculum includes pre-loaded Seesaw activities, as well as Google Slides and PowerPoint versions. The 3-5 version does not include Seesaw.
The lessons are ready for you to teach virtually or to your class in person, with lessons you can assign for students to complete independently, in groups, or complete as a whole class.
With the mind+heart Social-Emotional Learning curriculum, you have everything you need to confidently create the classroom community you've always wanted.
