One of the key components to a child's academic and personal success is their social-emotional development. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is an area of education that often takes a backseat to academic standards and expectations. However, SEL allows children to develop the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, effectively communicate feelings, and establish and maintain positive relationships. At the vulnerable age of 7 and 8 years old, many students struggle with feelings of low self-esteem and anxiety. Knowing how to properly express these feelings is critical to mental and emotional well-being. Picture books are an extremely effective way of enhancing social-emotional skills because they cover topics such as empathy, self-confidence, resilience, acceptance, courage, friendship, and more... Having a collection of meaningful picture books to introduce SEL lessons and open the door to meaningful discussions with students is very important to their academic and personal success. There are so many amazing books out there to support SEL and this project is full of them! Some of these titles include: "The Invisible Boy" by Trudy Ludwig, "The Way I Feel" by Janan Cain, "I'm Not Just a Scribble" by Diane Alber, "A Flicker of Hope" by Julia Cook, and "The Most Magnificent Thing" by Ashley Spires. These books discuss a variety of social-emotional skills in engaging, kid-friendly language. The uses for them are literally endless! Having these books for my students will allow me to not only support their academic intelligence, but their emotional intelligence as well.
