This project is to begin a collection of Ninja Hacks for Life books for our kindergarten through fifth grade students. Students are craving fun, new, engaging resources to help them develop critical, life-long social-emotional skills. Kids have always needed explicit instruction in social-emotional learning, but the ongoing pandemic has escalated this to a critical need. The Ninja Hacks books are so much fun to share with students, both when I visit their classrooms for whole group sessions and when I meet with students individually and in small groups. These books help make the idea of counseling much less intimidating!
