My Project

We live in a such a fast-paced, technology driven world in which we as human beings are not looked as human beings. Luckily, literature can help.

Sense of oneself and the space one holds for others is extremely important.

This set of books will allow my class to really look at oneself and gain a better understanding of who they are as well as what role they play on Earth. They will learn the importance of holding space for others while developing their autonomy.

Our goal is to develop strong peer relations that spill over into our every day lives.
