Let's Learn to Get Along

Help me give my students books and tools to become kinder and more reflective. The paper and hole punch will help them create stories to express their feelings.

My Project

The items I have chosen are books and tools to be shared with my 3rd grade team. We are always looking for books and tools to help our struggling students. These students struggle with their emotions-they are anxious, stressed, nervous and are unable to identify and express their emotions in a healthy and helpful way. These items will be used to help them become more confident students. Even though the days of COVID teaching are over, they still are unable to share, take turns and express empathy. Hopefully these tools will encourage them to listen to others and really think about how their behaviors impact others.
