Social Learning Books for Special Kids

Funded Sep 30, 2020

On behalf of the amazing Kinder-through-second graders at Gegan I want to thank you for your generous donations toward our social learning project! With your contributions, we were able to purchase 19 books about different social problems and situations that connect with our students' lives and experiences.

We have used our new books to help us learn and talk about using good manners, interrupting and blurting out in class, making safe choices, being a good friend, and more! It feels so good to be able to reference our classroom library when we encounter challenges in our class or with individual students. A Kindergarten teacher mentioned that she noticed a student giving too many unwanted hugs to their friends, and I said "Oh! I have a book about that!". I was so excited to have the materials I needed to start that conversation with the student right at my fingertips.

All of this was made possible with your donations and I can't tell you how thankful I am!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Springhetti
