Holiday SEL and SEL for the Seasons | SEL Book Companion for Every Month

The December unit in these seasonal SEL activities is built around Mooseltoe by Margie Palatini, so you can start this month and keep going all year. Your K-2 class gets twelve 5-day units, one for every month, with a 15-minute lesson each day and a children’s book at the center of every week. Each unit sticks to one SEL focus, and the lesson plans take you from Monday’s read-aloud to Friday’s journal, which goes home with a Home Connection! Use them for morning meeting, read-aloud time or holiday weeks.

• One book a month: 12 SEL book companions, from You’re Finally Here! in August to Jabari Jumps in July.
• 15 minutes a day: Seasonal SEL activities short enough to fit into a full K-2 morning.
• Your book or YouTube: Read your own copy or find a YouTube read-aloud for Monday’s SEL lesson.
