My Project

According to Scholastic Parents, "The goal of social and emotional learning (SEL) is to help kids form healthy identities so they can thrive. Part of this self-growth means understanding one’s feelings and actions, and learning to manage them in a socially acceptable way. Knowing the right words to describe a feeling is an early step in articulating oneself. With self-awareness, children can show their personalities, share their values and interests, and communicate more clearly." Students need to be able to read books that help them understand themselves, their emotions, and the emotions of others.

"Without the words to describe their experiences (or others’ experiences), children may find it difficult to connect with others and miss out on support from family, friends, and community.

Books with SEL themes allow children to learn these skills through characters and plot. Through stories, children learn how to analyze a problem they face in their own lives and come up with solutions." By supporting our project, you will provide a classroom Kindle with a cover. My students will be able to check out those books that they identify with or have concepts that will help them understand how they feel.
