Lets Work These Feelings Out

Help me give my students social emotional books and tools to help support them through this school year

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kara's classroom raised $184

My Project

Hello, thanks for taking the time to learn about our classroom project. I feel students being able to have the tools to express their feelings is very helpful. I chose different social emotional books to be able to read to the students in the classroom. These books will help them through their anger or sadness. I chose books that will help the students stay calm. I picked different tools like sensory sand and other play items to help support the children through their journey. Any donation is greatly appreciated. I feel these items will help our students this upcoming school year.
