Morning Meeting Weekly Words - SEL Slideshow - Character Building

Explicit character-building and SEL instruction is beneficial in primary and upper elementary grades. This resource will help you open up discussions and show examples of 30 different positive characteristics (listed below).

Each week, students will explore one weekly word. It is meant to be implemented for only roughly 8-12 minutes each day, so it makes a great addition to morning meetings. Throughout the week, the word/characteristic of the week will be defined, explored, discussed, and reflected on.

What's included?

• A Google Slideshow featuring the 30 weekly words - This slideshow is nearly 100 slides long and will help you pace your weekly word instruction. Each word features three slides; one to define and explore the word, one to indicate the printable activity being used, and one to guide reflective discussion.
