My Students

I am an emotional support teacher for 4th and 5th grade in a title I school. I am the teacher of a self-contained classroom where learn social emotional skills daily as well as our core academic content.

These resources will not only help me teach, but they will help students have a space and items to reset and refocus.

I use books to teach skills daily, and I also use the resources I have in my classroom. Thank you for everything you do! Each of the resources that are provided to me will benefit the students. The books that I requested, can be used for all grades. They enjoy the stories and we process the message through the lesson. The seating and the carpet will provide students with more comfort and a space to refocus and reset with.

The seating and the carpet will provide students with more comfort and a space to refocus and reset with.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to relate to various daily emotions they may endure within the school setting.
