My Project

In our class, we are focusing on fostering an equitable emotional environment where students can learn to understand and manage their emotions effectively.

To facilitate this, I am hoping to provide them with emotions dot plush toys and social-emotional learning (SEL) book sets.

These resources will enable us to engage in lessons and activities that promote emotional awareness and resilience.

Your support would make a significant difference in helping my students build essential skills for their well-being. Together, we can create a nurturing space for their growth and development.

Thank you for considering our project!
