SEL for Our Littlest Keiki

Help me give my students books, puzzles, snacks and more to create a safe and welcoming Social & Emotional Learning space for our Preschool and Kindergarten students.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Torpey's classroom raised $761

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students at our large Title 1 school have many needs, and our youngest students need help with social and emotional learning as they start school.

Our preschool and kindergarten keiki need these books, puzzles, and games to build the skills necessary to be successful in school as they get older.

These cooperative games and books will help them learn concepts and fine motor skills. These materials will also help them work with other students and teachers to foster relationship and friendship skills. Throughout our space they will work to gain the confidence necessary to build positive relationships and self-esteem.
