My Project

The Little Spot of Emotion books and lessons are a fun and creative way to teach students about their feelings and emotions. Students learn about their emotions in different ways. Reading these stories will give all students the same explanation of the specific emotions which will help with regulating them in the future.

Learning how to express your emotions in the right way is so important to learn at a young age.

My goal is that every student leaves my classroom with these skills. My students are special because they have such unique personalities and stories.
