Lesson Plans, Links, and Activities For Use at Home and in the Classroom
The following activities were designed with the help of educators to be compatible with a variety of learning standards for easy “grab-and-go” lessons that work well in the physical OR virtual classroom with few extra materials required. They can also easily be used as substitute lessons, library activities, or in before or after school programs. The focus for most of these are reading comprehension and SEL (Social Emotional Learning) to develop positive self-identity, self-management skills, social awareness, empathy and resiliency.
