My Project

The presence of the books in the classroom teaches the students about self-worth and how to support infants in developing their own sense of self. Reading books can help pupils begin to comprehend and relate to the problems that arise in the lives of young children. Social difficulties and low self-esteem have plagued some of my kids since they were very young.

A book will be read by the students.

Following the book's reading, the students will explore in class how emotions may and will affect kids. Additionally, whether this emotion has had any impact on them.
