My Project

The books I am requesting cover a variety of teaching areas that my students need. One of those areas is learning how to care for themselves and others. I have requested books on how to keep calm, how to care for others, and how to be kind to ourselves.

I have students with big emotions and these books will help guide lessons with them on how to handle those emotions better.

I have also added books about caring for our planet. My kids loved learning about Earth Day and caring for the one planet we have. My students have even requested I read more books for them to learn about our world.
