Learning to Handle Our Emotions Through Literature

Funded Sep 7, 2022

As soon as these new books arrived in my classroom, my students were so excited to explore them! They immediately picked up books during independent reading time and I have incorporated many of them in whole-group reading lessons. We have explored different emotions and ways to handle stress, as well as the diverse experiences of notable individuals.

My students are now able to see people in picture books that look like them and their families, and it is truly making a huge impact. Students are able to learn about their emotions and conquering hard things through picture books that they enjoy reading. Being able to learn these lessons through literature is so much more meaningful than a teacher telling them these things.

Thank you so much for your generous donations, they are so appreciated! My students and I are so grateful.”
