Why Is Different Awesome? Social Emotional Learning Curriculum

 

The Why Is Different Awesome? Social Emotional Learning Curriculum is a fun, thought-provoking, interactive 14-lesson program for kids in grades 4-5 that helps them develop skills necessary for positive social emotional development.  Based on the guided journal, Why Is Different Awesome?, the premise of the class is that through classroom discussion, reflection, and journaling, every child can learn to embrace their special qualities, respect those of others, navigate the challenges of friendship, and understand the importance of community. The overall goal is to build strong communities in school and beyond.

Designed to be facilitated by teachers, Why Is Different Awesome? Social Emotional Learning Curriculum includes easy to follow lesson plans, classroom discussion, role-playing exercises, and fun activities to help young learners feel more confident, more empathetic, and improve school climate.

Because the lessons are aligned with state SEL standards, implementing the program will help meet your state and district SEL requirements.

The journaling component will help reinforce comprehension, writing, and penmanship skills taught in language arts.

Lessons that emphasize empathy, gratitude, and respect help improve social and emotional health and increase sense of community.
