My Project

The social emotional books that I am requesting will be used by both students and myself. I will use the books to teach topics to students during classroom guidance lessons and to foster discussion about the topics. Students will use the books to revisit and relearn topics that have been taught in class.

Access to relevant and visually stimulating reading materials about emotions is such a gift for students.

Students who struggle with spoken words are able to receive information and knowledge through written text and visuals.

Thank you so much for supporting my mission to help young children learn emotional regulation skills at school. It is my hope to create a happier, calmer society through helping young children learn skills to regulate and control their emotions. Thank you, I am most grateful for your support.
