About Grade 4 SEL
Grade 4 SEL (social-emotional learning) (4th grade, ages 9–10) is 40 lessons in 5 units: Unit 1 — Self-Awareness (lessons 1–8), Unit 2 — Social Awareness (lessons 9–16), Unit 3 — Responsible Decision-Making (lessons 17–24), Unit 4 — Relationship Skills (lessons 25–32), and finally Unit 5 — Projects and Review (lessons 33–40), project work that brings the year together. Along the way, children learn to distinguish between constructive criticism and unkind criticism, define peer pressure and explain how it affects decisions and explain why disagreements happen and why they are normal.
Start here: Lesson 1: Explore Personal Values is free to open and print. Every other lesson has a free preview of its mini lesson and vocabulary.
Paper first: each lesson is printed before you call your child. You read it once and talk it through, your child does the exercises on paper, and you correct together with the Parent checklist — about 45 minutes at the table. The next day, a 10-minute screen review of the same lesson.
