Books can open children's minds to a whole new world. I believe in the importance of read aloud in my classroom, and I am constantly looking for new, engaging titles to share with them.
Please help me give my students new books that provoke powerful yet realistic conversations.
The majority of the titles selected align with our SEL curriculum. We use the books to talk and learn so we can apply the lesson to real life scenarios. The other titles are thought provoking yet fun books that can be used at any titles.
The best way to start a child on a journey of loving teacher is by giving them access to quality resources. Each title was carefully selected as one that can may be entertaining for the child but also inspirational.
