My Project

My EL students and their families have been hugely impacted by COVID-19 in many ways: socially, emotionally, academically, economically, and physically.

I've chosen titles from School Library Journal's list of 2021's Best Graphic Novels.

These titles contain Social Emotional Learning and Social Justice themes. I've chosen pairs of these books so students can participate in small book studies with partners. I've also chosen a class set of Jacqueline Woodson's young adult novel, Harbor Me, which directly relates to my students' experiences.

In addition, I've requested composition books for journaling and note-taking (important executive function skills that my students must build for academic success) and a set of "fidget" balls for focus and to combat anxiety.
