The abrupt end to in-person learning was beyond anything that we could have envisioned. One day, students were in class. The next, they were going home for a two-week closure that extended to three months! In the blink of an eye, daily hugs, smiles, instruction, and peer interactions were taken away, replaced by messages and Zoom calls and assignments posted to Google Classroom. This was traumatizing for many students.
As we begin to consider the impact of school closure on our students, we cannot ignore the need for social emotional support. Students are going to need help navigating through the layers of emotions that they have experienced since school closed in March.
The books and stories on this list will help to foster a "safe place" for my students to acknowledge their feelings. Please help me prepare an environment that has the necessary resources to support my learners and equip them with coping skills to make them feel safe, secure, and happy, for it is only then that true learning can take place.
