My Project

These books will allow my students to see they are not the only ones feeling the way they are. The books will guide the students in different skills and strategies to help them understand that they have a safe and caring environment to learn in. 2nd through 5th grade will be the students that will be learning from the books on how to handle these emotions/feelings at school and at home. We all have emotions/feelings it is how we use the skills given to use to handle them. No one should ever feel alone or afraid to reach out to others.
