The December/January's SEL lesson introduces students to the power of positive affirmations as a way to build self-esteem, resilience, and a supportive classroom community. Through creating a Positive Affirmation Jar, students will learn how kind and encouraging words can boost their confidence, help them manage challenges, and strengthen connections with their peers. By the end of the lesson, students will have a practical tool to promote positivity and emotional well-being in their daily lives.
