This end of the year social emotional learning resource is the perfect companion to your last few weeks of school lesson plans. It includes mini-lesson ideas and engaging activities that reflect on the connections made in the classroom and introduce a discussion about how they’ve used important social and emotional skills throughout the year.

The mind+heart SEL end of the year resource and activities will encourage discussions amongst your kids about kindness, memories they’ve had throughout the year, friendships they’ve built, and goals that they have for their future.

Why end the year with social-emotional learning?

The end of the school year is such an important time to reflect on the social and emotional skills that were used throughout the year. Reflecting on these skills helps end the year on a positive note. Kids will leave the classroom feeling like an important part of the classroom community and feel better prepared to handle the challenges that they may face as they approach a new grade.

What is the scope and sequence?

It includes 4 weeks of SEL lessons and activities in 4 themes for the end of school. There are 2-7 lessons and activities for each theme.

Week 1: reflecting on our year

Week 2: my memories

Week 3: looking forward  

Week 4: friendships (party week)

I suggest teaching one lesson/activity per day. They can be easily integrated into your morning meeting, read-aloud time, writing block, or during brain breaks and transitions. This resource was made with the K-2 classroom teacher in mind but would work well with any childhood educator or school counselors working with groups of children. 

What does the mind+heart End of the Year SEL resource include?
