## Description

| This SEL Songbook for grades K-5 offers 20 original songs aligned with the five CASEL social and emotional learning (SEL) competencies, along with recordings, worksheets, and over 40 ready-to-use lesson plans. Whether or not children already learn SEL through a formal curriculum at school, teachers can use these songs and activities to introduce, reinforce, and extend SEL concepts while fostering joyful, developmentally appropriate musical experiences. Designed as a flexible resource, these songs and lesson plans work in elementary general music, choir, general classroom, and after-school or community music settings. Through songs such as “What is my Identity?” “It’s Okay to Take a Break,” “Your Words Matter,” and “Take a Stand,” children explore topics including identity, honesty, self-regulation, empathy, inclusion, communication, resilience, boundaries, ethics, and more! By engaging with the materials in this book, children will sing, dance, listen, and move to songs in a diverse array of musical genres, tonalities, and meters. Lesson plans include specific musical activities such as movement maps, singing games, conducting, arranging, improvising, songwriting, part singing, and instrumental performance on auxiliary percussion, barred instruments, bucket drums, and ukuleles. High-quality recordings augment the experience; **students can listen to the version with vocals at home, or teachers can use the versions without vocals to accompany student performances.** If you’re looking for high-quality and engaging songs that span a variety of tonalities, meters, and genres while sparking meaningful conversation and growth in your classroom community, this product is for you! Music education is powerful. Music educators don't just teach music; they teach humans through music. We hope that these songs provide joyful opportunities for children to grow as musicians and as people.![](https://fflat-books.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/SG-EDITS-SEL-Book-Volume-One_Page_003-scaled.jpg) |
