HOW TO USE IT

Use the pages for SEL units, growth mindset lessons, mindfulness breaks, calm-down corners, fast finishers, bell ringers, morning work, sub plans, character education, advisory periods, art centers or bulletin board displays. Finished pages make motivational classroom or hallway décor.

As described on page 2, students can color with pencil crayons, crayons, markers, watercolor, chalk pastels, oil pastels or mixed media. The detail encourages focus and fine motor control rather than large single-color fills, and the quotes give you a starting point for reflective discussion about positive self-talk and perseverance.
