My Project

As a virtual middle school teacher I work with a variety of students who feel they learn better in a different environment. Many of our students struggle with anxiety or lack of self confidence.

Books are a porthole into learning new skills and applying these social emotional skills into their lives.

I plan to use these picture books to increase student engagement while teaching them the life lessons they need to be successful. Whether it is being motivated by trailblazers or learning new skills to overcoming worries these books will inspire my students to be their best selves.
