Funded Aug 3, 2020The pandemic has created challenges for our young learners. Kindergarten is an important year for children to learn social and emotional skills. The donations made to this project has helped me facilitate social-emotional learning even in our virtual classroom. This year, more than ever, these children need the support to understand their feelings and how to handle them. Many families are going through hardship.
The books and tools from this project allow me to give explicit instruction about emotions. We talk about what happens in the story and how it relates to them. The students have discussions about what they would have done in a situation or times they have felt that way.
I have seen social and emotional growth in the students. They are able to analyze how they feel and why they feel that way. The books allow the students to engage in scenarios even though we are not in person. The materials make all the difference for their mental health during challenging times in our world. Thank you for all the support for my kindergarteners!”
