A Little Spot of Emotions!

Help me give my students a way to learn about their emotions and how to regulate them.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lako's classroom raised $576

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have 22 pre-k students in my classroom that have BIG emotions! Some of my students have never been in a classroom setting. A key role of my students learning is about their emotions.I am constantly looking for tools to help learn about their emotions and how to help them regulate their emotions!

The Little Spot of Emotion book series are great tools that are on a younger kids level to help them understand their emotions, put words to their emotions, and eventually help them regulate their emotions.

I hoping to pair the fun books with the plush emotion pillows to help them connect their own feelings with the characters in the stories.
