Grade 5 · SEL · Lesson 19

Inclusive Language & Actions

The words you choose and the small actions you take can either pull people in or push them out. Inclusive language and inclusive actions tell others, "You belong here." This skill is part of social awareness — noticing who is in, who is out, and what you can do about it.
