What do the lessons cover?
Five social-emotional learning courses: emotions and self-esteem, relationships, mindset, perspective, and art creation. Each course is two lessons of warm-up circle talk, guided discussion, a hands-on activity, printable worksheets, and a Big Head Bob story tying it together.
What grade levels is it for?
Written for Kindergarten through Grade 3. Lessons run 30–90 minutes depending on the unit, and every activity has a simplified option for younger or pre-reading students.
Does it work on classroom tablets?
Yes. Everything runs in a browser on tablets, laptops, and interactive whiteboards, with nothing to install. Interactive activities are touch-first with large tap targets, and worksheets print on standard letter paper.
What if it is not right for my class?
Start with Lesson 1 free, so you can try a full lesson with your students before spending anything. If you buy the bundle and it is not a fit, email us within 30 days and we will refund you, no questions asked.
How did you make this?
I worked with about 12 college student interns, curriculum designers, teachers, and counselors to develop and test this curriculum over three years. The lesson plans have been downloaded more than 1,000 times on Teachers Pay Teachers, so I built an interactive version! I sincerely hope you and your students like it.
How does the license work?
One purchase covers one teacher and the students in their classroom, including printing worksheets for your own class each year. School- and district-wide licensing is available, so get in touch below.
