It's hard to believe that summer is coming to an end! Start the new school year off right with a collection equipped with a planning template, welcome and get-to-know-you activities, reading comprehension lessons, writing prompts, a rules contract, and a variety of icebreakers. Activities and lessons encourage reflection, creativity, and spark enthusiasm for a rewarding school year.   

The adolescent years can be turmoil on a child's self-esteem. Help them to keep self-talk and peer discussions positive with a four-lesson series that encourages learners to contribute to a supportive class atmosphere—and to be kind to themselves as well.

The best anti-bullying campaign is a pro-kindness campaign. Reinforce important skills for spreading empathy, positivity, and support in your middle school classroom—and in the larger school community.
