Welcome! You've been hit by the seasonal W-ALL (Wall [noun]: That awkward period between winter and fall when you no longer know how to dress, how to wake up early or do any of the things on your to do list).
November was always one of the longest months for me. The honeymoon period is over, you're over pumpkins, not ready for candy canes and above all else, sure as hell not ready for report cards. I'm here, my friend, with some engaging activities to support social-emotional learning resources for K-3 throughout your November program (so you don't have to).
Fall SEL Community Circle Prompts

Think about it- if you sense yourself checking out- it's probably because the chattiness has escalated, conflicts have become more frequent, and you've lost that little bounce to your step. When students begin to feel devalued, disorganized or sense that your heart's not in it, it makes sense that class management starts to slide. Connection is ALWAYS more powerful than sporadic correction. Here are 54 prompts on beautiful watercolor backdrops that each target curiosity, mindfulness & five senses, social skills and relationship building.
