These books are going to make such an impact in my students' lives. They already have a space waiting for them in my library. All the students needs to learn these social emotional skills and ethics. Most of my students have encountered trauma in their lives. Due to this, many have not been able to learn how to deal with their emotions and social settings. These books will provide me the platform to build a community in my classroom. I will be able to teach the students the tools they will need to learn. It will also provide a safe learning environment for students. This is where students learn more, explore, and a lot of growth happens. All because we serviced the whole student, starting with the social emotional well being of the student.
