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
As a school counselor, I work with our youngest learners—kindergarten through second grade—who are still learning how to name their feelings, handle big emotions, and navigate friendships. For many, picture books offer a gentle and effective way to explore these important social-emotional skills during individual counseling sessions.
I am seeking support to build a curated library of Social Emotional Learning books that address topics such as anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, self-esteem, impulse control, and kindness.
These books and manuals will be used one-on-one to help students connect with characters who are experiencing similar emotions and learn strategies they can use in their own lives.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
