Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

During the school year, we will explore many skills and concepts in social emotional learning, such as empathy, gratitude, conflict resolution, and self-control. Read aloud mentor texts will allow my students to hear a quality text that was designed with those specific skills in mind.

Mentor texts provide great read aloud opportunities for students to hear and experience quality texts that connect with not only with the skills being taught during social emotional learning, but also gives them a real-world connection to these skills.

My goal for this project is to be able to provide students with these excellent read aloud texts that correlate with our social emotional learning standards, curriculum, and skills. I want students to hear how these skills are used in texts so they will be able to learn how to incorporate them into their lives.
