SEL Through Books

Help me give my students books and activities to support their social emotional learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smithson's classroom raised $809

This project is fully funded

My Project

The social-emotional resources I am requesting will provide my students valuable practice and growth in the area of social-emotional learning. Along with our regular social-emotional school-wide learning activities, these materials will help support social-emotional learning in our classroom. Through social-emotional learning books, games, and activities, I believe that my students can learn to make the right choices. They will learn how to express their emotions and work with peers. They will develop social-emotional skills that will foster friendships and strengthen their emotional health, which is so important in our lives.
