St. Patrick’s Day isn’t the only reason we might be feeling a little lucky come March. With spring break & the promise (even if it is ever so slight) of spring, it’s a good time to start thinking smarter and not harder when it comes to lesson planning for your K-3 students or small counseling groups.
So click your heels together and follow the rainbow to the top SEL resources for March & make sure you scroll to the end for your free spring posters to promote a safe and welcoming environment!
This SEL-inspired story and craft combo is perfect for fostering self-confidence, resilience, and self-belief in primary students or small counseling groups.
The activity features a rhyming story about Molly, a girl who mistakenly believes rocks, not shamrocks, bring good luck. After being teased by a peer, her teacher delivers a powerful lesson: true magic and success come from within. Maeve learns to embrace her lucky rock, not for its magic, but as a personal symbol of her inner strength.
This heartwarming tale teaches:
- Building self-esteem and resilience
- Handling teasing with confidence
- Celebrating unique perspectives

This getting to know me craft/ St. Patrick’s Day clover-themed wreath can be made for individuals or as a class decoration. Invite students to brainstorm their strengths on their brainstorming pages and then transfer the wealth of information onto their shamrocks. I suggest hanging it outside your door on a Command hook for all to gawk at!

To the window, to the wall- before holidays social skills are out of control. It can be frustrating and incredibly disheartening to see some of these behaviors slide, so I am suggesting a fresh take on blurting (shouting out) and responsible responses.
