Inside: Use this Kindness Leaves Kind or Unkind Sort to help students determine what is kind and what is not during this sel center activity. 


Every late August, when I’m dripping sweat by 9am and overheated all day, I long for the chillier, sweater weather fall days. 

I look forward to all things pumpkin spice and leaves falling and apple picking because autumn is my most favorite season. 

And I absolutely love when I can tie fall activities into kindness activities, because then it’s a win-win for everyone. 

For September and back to school, we love these Kindness Pencils and our I am Kind at School Emergent Reader freebie, and our 100 Days of Kindness. 

For October and Halloween, we love our Halloween Kindness Notecards and our pumpkin kind or unkind sort. 

For November and Thanksgiving, we love this Gratitude Pumpkin printable and these Gratitude Kindness Notes. 

We encourage our kids to be kind throughout fall with our Fall Kindness Challenge. 

And we of course love these Kindness Leaves Kind or Unkind Sort intentionally teach sel curriculum.

They can do this in small groups during centers, independently, or you can do it as a whole group in a pocket chart. 

If there are too many cards, you can only give students half the cards at once so they are more successful.
