The books I am requesting for this project would make an enormous impact on my students in their journeys to learn and practice their ever-growing social skills. Many of my students struggle with very simple things such as maintaining eye contact or waiting for their turn. Yet some of my students struggle with self-love, confidence, and understanding why certain things happen (divorce, death, etc.) You see, my students lose themselves in books, but sometimes they find themselves there too. The books I am requesting are on a variety of topics including diversity, bullying, feelings, anger management as told by characters the students get to know and love, making their situations more relatable, and therefore more manageable. My students and I have found so many great ways to connect over books and stories and I hope to continue that journey with them. Whether it is in person or distance learning, these books (and the discussions/activities that follow) will be utilized daily. Thank you!
