My Project

Children of all ages love listening to stories and are able to form a bond and relate to characters through stories. They are able to learn lessons and think critically about the actions of the characters in a non-threatening way.

While first grade students are still learning how to process their emotions and proper behaviors, these books will be used during SEL lessons to help facilitate discussions on feelings, empathy, and proper behavior with characters they can relate to.

We will use these books to talk about what characters could have done in their situation and relate it back to their lives and what they should do in different situations and how their actions effect others.
