Teachers know how important it is to teach routines and procedures at the beginning of the year. For younger students, these new routines can be a lot to take in at one time! I created these mini behavior books to help students understand how to behave in certain situations.
- a poster you can display
- 6 page mini-books to teach each topic
- color and black and white of the books and posters
You can use the color version of the book as your own social story read aloud and the black and white version for students to color. After students create these books, they can take them home and talk to their families about what they learned! Keep the color version in your classroom so you can review expectations anytime you need! You can grab these books as a bundle, or each one individually.
