How this curriculum works:
This curriculum is a 6-module program. Each week there is a different theme: kindness, feelings, manners, respect, empathy and courage and with each theme having a corresponding book.
The format of the program follows this framework: Inspire, Story, Activate, Share, Reflect.
Monday: Inspire, Story, Activate day 1 activity.
Tuesday: Activate Day 2 activity
Wednesday: Activate Day 3 activity
Thursday: Activate Day 4 activity
Friday: Activate Day 5 activity, Share and Reflect
Each lesson has been purposefully designed as a mini-lesson, ranging from five to 20 minutes in length, and can be implemented throughout the day, flexibly fitting into your classroom schedule. Each theme could be spread over a month, where this curriculum becomes a guide to inspire you to infuse social and emotional learning in your classroom.
Philosophy: play-based, hands-on, engagement through active learning.
We follow the CASEL framework to foster knowledge, skills, and attitudes across five areas of social and emotional competence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
