FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Editable Name Tracing Dough and Sticker Mats Template”

These play dough and tracing name mats are so versatile for teachers, homeschoolers and parents! Each play dough mat contains children's names in bubble font along with a tracing section. Help kids develop fine motor skills by using these mats in different ways such as tracing with dry erase markers, building their names using playdough, build the letters by placing re-usable stickers along each letter, painting and so much more!

ENJOY THIS FREE EDITABLE PRODUCT!

FOR THE FULL BUNDLE:
>>>>> Editable Mats the Bundle

SAVE by purchasing this bundle and any future (name mats) additions to it!

Please read the important information about this file below before you purchase.

PROGRAMS YOU WILL NEED:

- Abobe Reader DC

- WINZIP (or an equivalent program to unzip files)

IMPORTANT:

Please note that you cannot change the font size in the text boxes. For longer names, you will need to print names that are longer than 8 letters on TWO mats and then cut the edges of the two pages to connect them - this is how I do it for my students. I had to create them this way otherwise the name letters will be too small to be able to use the materials on the mats to build fine motor skills effectively. I hope this helps!

How to use these mats:

*Have the kids practice forming the letters in their name using playdough (in morning work, literacy centers and more!)

*Have the kids form the letters of their name using dot stickers.

*Have the kids forming the letters of their name with dry erase markers.

FREE MISC. LESSON - “4th Grade Social Emotional Learning Journal - SEL JOURNAL Week 1 FREE SAMPLE”

by Rockin Resources
4th Grade

FREE SAMPLE of our 4th Grade Social Emotional Learning Journal. Try Week 1 for free!

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE YEAR-LONG SEL JOURNAL IN THE LINK ABOVE OR SEE BELOW:

This SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING journal with Casel Framework covers all 5 CASEL COMPETENCIES. To take students confidently through the school year, each of the 5 competencies are scaffolded and repeated 7 times to provide 35 weeks of social emotional learning opportunities. This SEL journal writing helps students build confidence and empathy.

It is perfect for morning work to start off the day on the right foot! DIGITAL NOW AVAILABLE- PDF, GOOGLE, AND POWERPOINT INCLUDED!

COMPETENCIES:

1. Self-Awareness
2. Self-Management
3. Social Awareness
4. Relationship Skills
5. Decision-Making

THERE IS A CHOICE OF TWO COVER PAGES FOR JOURNALS.

6-PRONGED APPROACH INCLUDES:

1.  DAILY CHECK IN: 

Teachers can gain a sense of where students are emotionally each day to determine if there is something the teacher needs to discuss with that student.

2.  MINDFUL MINUTE: 

Practical daily strategies for coping and calming. These vary. Some are the same throughout the week. Others change daily.

3.  SCAFFOLDED SEL VOCABULARY: 

The vocabulary helps students develop the necessary words to express themselves. It increases vocabulary consciousness through encountering, engaging, and applying context via definition, sentence, synonym and ‘What does the word make me think of?’ There is one vocabulary word per week that is aligned to that competency. Each CASEL competency vocabulary word progresses/builds upon each previous competency cycle. i.e.- Look at Decision-Making and see how the vocabulary progresses with each cycle. The vocabulary is consistent in content across grades 3-5 with different words aligned to the reading level (based on a book, Children's Writer's Word Book by Alijandra Mogilner that levels words).

• VOCABULARY SENTENCE:  There is a sample of a sentence in the teacher notes.

• SYNONYM: For some words, you may want students (or use for differentiation) to find antonyms too.

• WHAT DOES THE WORD MAKE ME THINK OF?: This can be anything that comes to mind. It can be shared in a discussion.

A WORD WALL and STUDY CARDS are also included!

4.  TODAY I CAN: 

The “I Can” statements are practical, ‘doable’ and aligned with CASEL 'I Can' ideals. (Many districts require teachers to write the daily 'I Can' 'standards' on the board. Often, they 'sound good' but lack practicality for students. Our 'I Can' statements combine realistic things students can do AND general goal statements. They will mean something to students.

There is overlap across grade levels with 'I Can' statements. This both reinforces previous years' 'I Can' tasks but also introduces different/higher level ones that have been tweaked.

These can be used for discussion. Some have a quick written answer while others have a place to check off for completion or understanding. When checking off for completion, it may need to be checked off at the end of the day or before they start the next day. You might also want to set guidelines to meet your classroom dynamics for some of them. For example- Sit next to someone who is lonely. – You might want to designate a time- at lunch or free time.

5.  QUOTE: 

Quotes were included for inspiration and context. They have cited authors if known and their occupation. They were chosen for practical and thought-provoking analysis.

6.  REFLECTION: 

VISUAL:  The illustration doesn’t have to be specific. It can symbolize the statement. For example-  I can promise myself to not make the same mistake twice. Students can draw a promise sign and the number 2.

WRITTEN:  Practical and thought-provoking reflection prompts to increase students' comprehension and transformation.

WHAT IS THE CASEL FRAMEWORK?

A framework creates a foundation for applying evidence-based SEL strategies to the community. The “CASEL wheel” helps cultivate skills and environments that advance students’ learning and development.

Use the framework to:

• Foster knowledge, skills, and attitudes across five areas of social and emotional competence;
• Establish equitable learning environments and coordinate practices across four key settings that support students’ social, emotional, and academic development.

BEFORE YOU START: 

These are meant to do in the morning, first thing, like DOL or Math Minutes, etc.

Remind students that there are no right or wrong answers. It is to help them grow socially and emotionally. If you need to grade it, it can be for completion.

Keep rockin' it!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “FREE What a Dilemma! (Poem and Teaching Guide)”

by Laura Candler
3rd - 5th Grade

What a Dilemma! is a collection of reading and writing activities based on the poetry book Emma Dilemma: Big Sister Poems by Kristine O’Connell George. Each poem can stand alone, but together they tell the story of Jessica, the big sister, and the dilemma posed by her little sister, Emma. Children of all ages can relate to Jessica’s story, whether they have a younger sibling, a younger cousin, or a friend who poses a dilemma. This teaching guide includes discussion cards and a poetry writing activity based on the poem, "Snooping," which is reprinted with permission. I created this free teaching guide because I love the book and think that it's a great way to share meaningful poetry with kids.
