My students need books such as The Feelings Book: The Care and Keeping of Your Emotions, Boy's Guide to Becoming a Teen & The Misfits to read during guidance sessions.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mora's classroom raised $268
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Adolescence is a period of rapid changes. Between the ages of 12 and 17, for example, a parent ages as much as 20 years. ~Author Unknown
My students are children that face many challenges at home and at school.
They are going through many changes emotionally as well as mentally and physically. Many times they feel misunderstood, and do not act in an appropriate manner. Others have self esteem issues and often feel despair and shame. Many children struggle with feeling isolated, different. Some experience intense anxiety in school or social situations.
My Project
These books will allow me to help my students be more resilient, to love themselves and accept themselves they way they are. To encourage them to be fighters and never give up. Some of these books would be used in the guidance book club and will enhance their lives. Their lives are bettered in some the following ways: mentally, spiritually and sociality. Also, if we develop a habit reading will we become more confident and self assured in abilities to comprehend and understand all types of information and even understand themselves.
By reading the Misfits, I believe that she/he will relate to the characters in the book and will see inside her/himself and will feel comfortable with the person she/he sees. I believe the book will help him/her to think of him/herself as being someone who can make things happen and who is worthy of love. The book The Feelings Book: The Care and Keeping of Your Emotions will help students understand their feelings and will have better judgment in behavior.
Reading has other benefits to the regular reader which is the ability to focus.
There is perhaps no greater avenue to learning then through reading. When we develop a practice a habit of reading, we are building solid foundation on which to build. This foundation of reading will allow us to accomplish many goals and ambitions we have for our lives.
