Product Update :: Winter Social Emotional Activity Pack

Winter Social Emotional Activity PackWell, it’s been just over 2 years since I first posted my Winter Social-Emotional Activity Pack. It’s definitely been one of my most popular products, and the activities have been used in my classroom many times over. So, I figured it was about time to add a few more! So, just in time for some shorter days and cooler temperatures (I know, I know, I’m sorry!), here they are!

First up are my seasonal Whole Body Listening Posters. The set contains 4 different posters (a boy and a girl of 2 different ethnicities) and highlights skills for being a good listener. My students love when my fall poster comes down and my elf poster goes up!

Next, I added a “Guess the Feeling Activity.” Many of you know I’ve been dabbling in creating my own clipart recently and this activity features several of my new Holiday Emotion faces! Students cut out feelings words on one page, and glue them underneath the corresponding face on the other page. It’s great for my K-2 students who struggle with emotional identification.

Last but not least, are some holiday-themed feelings flash cards. Using the same faces as my “Guess the Feeling” activity, you can use these cards for everything from role playing situations, to memory (just cut out 2 sets), or student communication cards.

Review :: Julia Cook Books

One of my favorite authors for social-emotional learning is Julia Cook. She has a book for almost every single type of behavior or situation I encounter as a school social worker and they’re great for on-the-go lesson planning when I’m scrambling to make time to plan. Best of all, my students love the books and actually pay attention while we’re reading and talking about them. What’s not to love? Here are a few of my favorites:
