My Project

I am a special education teacher in the largest elementary school in my district. I teach grades K-5 and I specialize in students with social and emotional challenges. I will use this material to teach students how to identify and deal with their emotions.

The Ninja Life Hacks series will allow my students to understand and connect their feeling and emotions better because the program is designed specifically for kids.

I know that my students will be excited about learning about the various ninjas and how they too can become a ninja in dealing with their emotions and feelings!
