Books to Teach Kids to Be Good People

My students need books to help them learn. These books range from mindfulness to social skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mitchell's classroom raised $600

This project is fully funded

My Students

My class is full of energetic second graders who love learning. My kids enjoy working together. They are optimistic and full of life. Every day I look forward to teaching them.

My students are good communicators, curious, and creative.

I am proud of each student because of their ability to try, even when it is tough. My school has a great faculty who all work together to make sure every student is successful. Our school is a wonderful place to be!

My Project

Books have power! Books can change lives. These books have a wide range of lessons they can teach. I want my kids to learn to be kind, to have empathy, to be mindful, and to have good social skills. These books will make my lessons more engaging.

These books will be able to affect my students lives.

With these books, my students will have multiple books to help them self-regulate and become good humans. This year we will be working on these skills. These skills will help my kids in personal relationships and will help them to learn. I can't wait for my kids to learn the skills taught in these books!
