What began as a tool for <strong>myself<\/strong> organically grew and gradually transformed into what you see here; a social emotional learning resource for both <strong>students<\/strong> and <strong>teachers<\/strong> in an area very much lacking in consistency and effectiveness within many of our school systems. In my opinion, mental health, mindfulness, self-regulation, meditation, movement, relationship skills, healthy habits, and true self-knowledge all contribute to a healthy mind and <strong>soul<\/strong>.

But it grew and adapted substantially to a resource for students and teachers alike. In terms of grade level, the lessons and activities are generally geared mostly toward <strong>middle school and even high school<\/strong>. The cool thing about this resource is that the teachings will be received and internalized very differently from grade to grade, student to student depending on age, abilities, and experiences. This exact curriculum can be used with the same students year after year and the experience will be totally different because it is an experience of self-understanding and personal growth.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to note that while some activities may seem \u201ctoo young\u201d or \u201ctoo old\u201d to some students, all activities can be completed and enjoyed by all ages primarily because they have more purpose behind them than just being \u201ccrafts\u201d or \u201cactivities\u201d; meaning they are typically mindfulness or meditation tools, personal reflection activities, etc., all of which can be used in very personalized ways which is incredibly valuable.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u2734\ufe0f <ins><strong>How this resource is organized:<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An instruction or <strong>\u201cteaching\u201d<\/strong><em> (which also usually includes a whole-class activity, suggested read aloud, anchor charts, etc.),<\/em><\/li>\n<li>followed by a <strong>group, partner, or independent activity<\/strong> <em>(this might be a game, activity page, craft, DIY tool\/resource, etc.), and finally<\/em><\/li>\n<li>an engaging<strong> journal page<\/strong> for students to complete independently after the lesson <em>(available in both full and half-page formats&#8230;I prefer full page).<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u26a1\u26a1 There are a total of <strong>12 themes <\/strong>(see below) with <strong>3 lessons per theme<\/strong>, and a journal activity per lesson (<strong>36 journal pages <\/strong>total)\u26a1\u26a1<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><ins><strong>12 THEMES:<\/strong><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><em>(Each theme includes 3 lessons, AT LEAST 3 activities, and 3 journal pages):<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Gratitude<\/li>\n<li>Contentment<\/li>\n<li>Mindfulness<\/li>\n<li>Perspective<\/li>\n<li>Happiness<\/li>\n<li>Stress-free<\/li>\n<li>Self-love<\/li>\n<li>Relationships<\/li>\n<li>Purposeful speech<\/li>\n<li>Manifesting<\/li>\n<li>Healthy Habits<\/li>\n<li>Pay it Forwards<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f\u26a0\ufe0f <em><strong>Teaching PRIMARY\/JUNIOR?
