My Project

My students are some of the most amazing kids in the world! We have worked so hard this year to develop our social and emotional skills.

Social and emotional skills have always been important, but in today's world- they are even MORE important.

My students have learned lots of self-regulation tools and all about their emotions. One of the ways we have learned about and practiced these skills are through books! New books focusing on social and emotional skills and topics will help my students to continue to gain these skills. I can't wait to read some of these soon to be favorites to my students, including the Ninja Life Hacks books, Big Feelings and Interrupting Chicken!
