I am requesting books for teaching Social Emotional skills in my classroom. SEL is taught daily. We are going to start the year focusing on kindness and then move to respect, empathy, gratitude, honesty, responsibility, courage, and cooperation. Students will be learning to identify feeling, use calming tools, and self regulate.
Books will be used for whole class read aloud and lessons.
The bean bag chair and calming supplies will be placed in the classroom calm corner for students.
The Calm Corner is a space in the classroom for students to use when they need a break. A variety of calm tools and flexible seating options, like bean bags, will be used to help support students.
More than half of 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
