Humans are rooted in emotion so let's build the roots of our education by teaching and supporting emotional learning! ...but how can we possibly add another content area into our day??? How about we infuse Social Emotional Learning into our already existing curriculum?!
One way I infuse SEL into my read alouds! Self-Management - ability to successfully regulate one’s emotions, thoughts, stress, impulses, & behaviors in different situations & work toward personal & academic goals Elementary: Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein Mouse Was Mad by Linda Urban Middle School/High School: Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli Fast Break by Mike Lupica Self-Awareness - ability to assess one’s strengths & challenges & correctly identify one’s own emotions & how they influence situations & others Elementary: The Orange Shoes by Trinka Hakes Noble Carla’s Sandwich by Debbie Herman Middle School/High School: Hatchet by Gary Paulsen Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan Responsible Decision-Making - ability to make constructive, socially acceptable, & ethical choices about personal behavior & social interactions Elementary: Hooper Humperdink..?

Holt Parrot in the Oven: Mi vida by Victor Martinez Relationship Skills - ability to establish & maintain healthy & positive relationships with diverse groups through clear communication, good listening skills, positive collaboration, & conflict resolution Elementary: A Sick Day for Amos McGee by Philip C. Stead Hooray for Hat by Brian Won Middle School/High School: The Outsiders by S.E.
