My Project

Thank you for taking the time to read about my class project. My school has students from kindergarten through 6th grade. I love my third graders. I also host a variety of after-school activities which I work with children including garden club, robotics club, and math club. Therefore, I work with all ages of kids at our school. I have a many of the books from the A Little Spot series, and my students love them. I would love to have the Educator's Guide with activities and other materials that go along with the lessons to increase our learning.

My kids learn and connect with the lessons in these books because not only do these books teach about our feelings, but they also give a fun way to manage their emotions.

Most of my students deal with trauma from adverse childhood experiences. (ACEs) I love finding ways to help them manage their trauma. Thank you, once again, for reading about the needs of my students.
