My Project

All of my students want a voice and a chance to be heard. They want to be able to communicate with each other, their families, and the world around them. By providing my students with social skills materials this will give them a chance to learn how to appropriately express their feelings with others. It will also give them a chance to learn more about each other's feelings and how to express them to one another. By being able to express their feelings with one another, they will be able to better understand those around them and their environment.

By providing me with a TPT gift card, I will be able to buy and print more social/emotional learning materials.

The Little Spot of Emotions materials will allow students to hear about different emotions and make connections with the spots to describe how they feel.

My goal for this project is for my students to better understand how emotions and then to be able to use what they have learned in their daily lives.
