My Project

Building a close-knit classroom community is an essential component for academic success. By engaging kids in social emotional learning through diverse texts, students are more likely to feel safe and ready to learn in their classroom environment.

I hope to promote literacy skills as well as social emotional growth by incorporating beautifully written books that tell the stories of the Holocaust.

These compelling stories will help students build empathy, learn valuable lessons about diversity & inclusivity, and better understand the world around them.

By donating to our project, you will support the social and emotional growth of many students while also having a positive impact on their understanding of key historical events.
