A Little Spot Books

Help me give my students A Little SPOT of Feelings books to help them grow!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. James's classroom raised $205

This project is fully funded

My Project

A Little SPOT curriculum is a wonderful tool to help students learn and develop different social skills. This project will help my students label and understand different feelings. Students will have the opportunity to interact with feeling plush tools through social stories. We will read books such as, "A Little SPOT Takes Action!" and "A Little SPOT of Learning" which focus on social-emotional topics such as kindness, empathy, and responsibility. I can't wait to engage my students in a new and relevant way. I know that they are going to fall in love with the Little SPOT series. These resources are going to enhance our classroom community.
