Back to School SEL Activities & First Day of School SEL Lesson Plans for August

These back to school SEL activities give the first week of school five 15-minute lessons built around You’re Finally Here! by Melanie Watt. You get read-aloud questions, a writing activity, a Find Someone Who activity, a feelings worksheet and a student journal with a home connection. A YouTube video link and a Google Slides digital menu are included too. Use it for the first days of school, morning meeting or SEL time in 1st to 3rd grade.

• Find Someone Who: A get-to-know-you activity in these back to school SEL activities.
• Feelings check: A worksheet for first-week feelings.
• Home connection: The journal includes a page for families.
