Healthy, Happy Mindset

Help me give my students the social emotional books to learn how to monitor their feelings.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hoke's classroom raised $566

This project is fully funded

My Project

These social-emotional books will make a powerful impact on my students’ mindset. They will help my students better understand the world around them and give them tools to navigate both positive and challenging situations.

Through these books (paired with classroom activities), my students will learn to use positive words and thoughts, recognize when to walk away, and express themselves clearly through their voice, writing, and body language.

They will develop a healthier mindset and grow in confidence.

The early years are the foundation for lifelong learning. These resources will help instill love, kindness, empathy, and patience in my students—because social-emotional skills truly matter!
