My Project

Having taught fourth grade for over a decade, I have seen the challenges that fourth grade girls face. Anxieties, worry, friendship challenges, changes, organization.... girls face so many challenges as they are growing!

The American Girls Smart Girls Series provides tools for the social and emotional learning of our young students.

These books have helped numerous girls over the years and helped them to feel less alone in their struggles. We would love to be able to add these books to our classroom library, so that our students can access these resources at any time.

Whether it's navigating friendship drama, testing anxiety, organizational issues, racial awareness or differences, our young girls need support to change and grow in this ever changing world. These books can help!
