My Project

In our classroom, we focus on students learning in the best ways for them. Consequently, there are some resources that we believe would take our learning even further! In our class of 6 students, we focus on social-emotional learning throughout our academic curriculums. By including SEL books, such as the little SPOT series, we can provide students with the lessons and activities that they need in order to succeed within the school environment. This will help them to practice check-ins with both themselves, and others, to recognize their feelings and emotions. They can then use their knowledge to determine WHY those feelings are happening, and what strategies they can practice to help cope with their big feelings.

By donating to this project, our students will be able to learn SEL strategies and practice them throughout the school day.

They can also use materials in the classroom to help them learn each and every day in the best way!
