Grade fit

Think of the set as respecting diversity affirmation coloring pages with SEL reflection built in; the slow, detailed coloring makes them mindfulness coloring pages too. It is a good fit at the start of the year, while the classroom community is forming. The reflection page asks “What helps you value every person’s story or identity?” The set fits Grades 2–8.
