My Project

The school year has been challenging for students and educators. Students need social emotional learning (SEL) to help with self-awareness, managing emotions, and responsible decision making. These books will be used to help close the achievement gap and meet students' SEL needs as well as incorporating literacy skills. When students are aware of their feelings and needs they can make better choices. They become happier and more balanced. This will help them focus and become more in control of their emotions and thoughts. This will help them to focus and learn better.
