Little Spot of Learning

Help me give my students excitement in learning and regulation with Little SPOT!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thompson's classroom raised $341

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I introduced the Little SPOT books to my class over a month ago and my students have engaged in these characters like no other.

The books teach basic skills and interactions and how these affect our emotions.

The books capture the reader and teach how to keep their red, gray, and blue emotions in check and how to make other emotions grow. I have seen my student's empathy grow and I crave more books to teach more skills. I am asking for books to increase my Little SPOT Library and add more plush toys to demonstrate how the little spots interact as they do in the book.
