Ask your students how they feel when they know they made the right decision and how they feel when they're aware they made the wrong choice.

Social awareness in the classroom means empathizing for others and understanding different perspectives.

Share this term with your students and ask them how they express concern for their classmates.

Self-management in the classroom stems directly from self-awareness. When a student is first aware of their emotions, they can then properly address how to manage them.

Introduce this core term to your students and ask how they should react when they notice they are feeling sad, angry, or anxious.

Welcome your students into the classroom with this quick and easy activity!

Start by asking each student to write down one emotion they are feeling as they enter the classroom in the morning. Share your emotion first, then have your students share their emotion with the class and why they feel that way.

This is a simple and effective way to encourage students to share how they feel, and show them how to react when their peers are feeling a certain emotion.
