HOW ARE THESE LESSONS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SEL/CHARACTER ED LESSONS?
⇨ Each weekly unit focuses on ONE Social/Emotional/Character ‘goal’ so your students have time to digest and understand the message.
⇨ Each weekly focus is based upon one mentor text that is read on Monday, giving students a frame of reference and schema about the focus of the week in a kid-friendly and relateable way.
⇨ Each daily lesson is designed to take only 15 minutes of class time, making it manageable for the busy classroom teacher.

Focus of the Week: We are grateful for what we are given.
Mentor Text of the Week: You Get What You Get by Julie Gassman
Book Overview:
This book is about Melvin who loves to have things go HIS way. He throws a fit every time he doesn’t get what he wants.
Throughout the story, Melvin learns to handle disappointment, and to be grateful for what he is given.
This book also helps spark a conversation about what is fair is not always equal – this concept is tricky for young children!
Through this story, our students can relate to Melvin and realize that disappointment can be overcome!

YOUR WEEK USING THIS UNIT WILL GO A LITTLE LIKE THIS…
⇨ Monday: Students will listen to the read aloud (you, if you own the book -OR- find a YouTube reading!). Question and discussion prompts included. Note: Read aloud book/read aloud video not included with purchase.
⇨ Tuesday: Students will engage with you in a classroom meeting where you will remind students of the focus, and begin to generalize the story so it can apply to your focus. Students will draw and/or write their understanding of the focus of the week in their journals.
⇨ Wednesday: Students will view a video clip. Then, another community building classroom meeting will be held to talk about how the video clip relates to the focus of the week.
⇨ Thursday: Students will engage in an activity to reinforce the focus of the week. Download the preview for a look at this week’s activity!
⇨ Friday: Students will draw and/or write about their new learning by completing prompts in their journal. Then, students will take their journals home and share the ‘Home Connection’ with their families.
*Detailed lesson plans are provided for each day!
