My Project

With these books and tools, my students will gain the skills they need to form positive relationships and thrive in this social world.

The "Little Spot of Emotion" books have been a hit with my first graders, and they’ve loved the introductory book I’ve already provided.

By adding these books to my library, my students will have access to more age-appropriate resources to help them understand and manage their emotions.

I’ve also requested a social-emotional learning activity book to guide our daily lessons.

With this structured resource, I’ll be able to introduce these important skills in a consistent and organized way.
