Description: This resource teaches students the difference between being an optimist and a pessimist by exploring how simple comments can be interpreted in different ways. Help your students develop stronger social skills, improve self-awareness, and build a more positive mindset with this Social Skills Bundle! Students will learn about using a speech filter, identifying feelings, perspective-taking, and how their words and attitudes affect friendships and everyday social interactions. I love teaching my students to focus on positive thinking because optimists tend to make, build, and maintain stronger friendships.
