Big feelings, Little Learners

Help me give my students materials to support them in their social emotional learning next school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Emily's classroom raised $717

My Project

As a school social worker, I see firsthand how important emotional development is for our youngest learners. In preschool, children experience big feelings they often don't yet have the words or tools to express. This project will help provide social-emotional learning resources—such as books, visuals, sensory tools, and emotion regulation materials—that support students in building self-awareness, empathy, and healthy coping strategies.

Your support will help create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel understood and empowered.

With the right tools and guidance, these little learners can begin developing the emotional foundation they need for success in school—and in life.
