All 39 printables in the studio, for preschool, PreK, kindergarten and early elementary. Each one links straight to its listing on Teachers Pay Teachers — two of them are free.
Children can't regulate a feeling they can't name. These build the vocabulary first, then connect each feeling to something a child can actually do about it — including quick daily check-ins that take two minutes of morning meeting.
Friendship, inclusion and noticing other people — taught through crafts, coupons and discussion rather than a poster about being nice.
Most early childhood behaviour problems are really transition problems. These do the repeating so you don't have to say it for the ninth time before lunch.
The first week sets the tone for the year. Icebreakers, goal setting and all-about-me activities that get children talking to each other on day one.
Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and end-of-year sets that keep the social-emotional work going through the parts of the year when the calendar gets loud and attention gets short.
Letter recognition, beginning sounds and fine motor practice for the youngest learners — centers you can set out and leave alone.
Print-and-post reference charts and matching practice for nouns and verbs — no weekend spent with chart paper and markers, and clean enough to read from the back of the carpet.
The feelings chart is free, evergreen and the fastest way to see whether these will work for your class.
