Funded Apr 3, 2023Your generosity has made a major impact on the literacy and social-emotional well being of my students!
The feeling dolls you gave played a big part in helping students understand their emotions! By the end of this year, every student in my 3 year old class was able to tell how they feel, use focused breathing to calm down, and come up with solutions to address their emotions and conflicts that arose throughout the day. Not bad for preschoolers!
You can see from the photos that my students loved the picture books that we were able to get. The wonderful thing about picture books is that it allows students to engage with books independently and foster their love for reading and the unique relationship that develops between the reader and the page. In this case the "text" they were reading was the pictures themselves, picking up on context clues and understanding the story through experience and depiction.
You helped make this year so special! Thank you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Adderley
