Ms. Melissa from Hilo HI is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Brain Break Learning

Help me give my students books and games to teach them Social Emotional Learning. I would like my students to be able to learn about their feelings and have them do activities to settle down.

My Project

My students are in the process of learning to

work through their emotions and be able to focus on staying calm and productive.

These books and activities will teach my students what they can do when they're feeling overwhelmed and challenged.

I would love to do lessons 1:1 or in a small-group setting when I go into the classrooms.

The students I work with deserve opportunities to flourish in and outside of the classroom. Each of them are unique and I want them know how special each one of them are!
