SEL Quotes

52 of My Favorite SEL Quotes to build character, support the SEL competencies, and to SELebrate YOU!

One of our favorite SEL activities is discussing and interpreting SEL quotes!

You can use this resource in so many ways! Here's what I do:

Each Monday. I introduce a new quote, one to support the building blocks of SEL and that gets my kids thinking deep.

We display it in the room, talk about it for a couple of days, and I try to read books related to the overall message. Then midweek, I’ll ask each student to reflect on the quote independently and tell me what it means to them. This allows for self reflection and builds self awareness. I encourage them to write a paragraph, so they expand on their interpretation with an example, connection, etc. The best part of this weekly activity is there is no right or wrong answer. It is their own interpretation, which makes it unique and one of a kind.
