My Project

My students and I currently have 8 of the Ninja Hack books and we can't get enough. This project will put more social emotional books in the hands of my students.

We are channeling our inner ninjas and bringing are superpowers to life.

With these SEL books my students are learning kid friendly strategies to handle every day situations and work through their emotions.

I like reading the books aloud to my class, but then the students want to bring the book back to their seats to explore it themselves.

Please help us finish the series. Not only will the books be used by students for years to come, but the strategies will live on within my students as they continue through their elementary years and preteen years.
