My Project

I teach First Grade students at a Title I school in Florida, where 100% of our students receive complimentary breakfast and lunch. Despite many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to know!

Sometimes my students can't find the words to share how the'yre feeling and need books to support them.

These books are amazing titles that will allow me to share with my students that their feeling are valid and that we will get through them together. The books will grab their attention with the vivid colors and illustrations. I can't wait for my students to know that they can talk about their feelings and not be judged. Please help me put these books into their hands!
