Self-Esteem and Social Emotional Well Being

Help me give my students feelings of comfort and joy this holiday season! I want to give my students journals, and The Life Skills for Kids and Tweens books this season.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. MacDonald's classroom raised $269

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are phenomenal kids who have endured many challenges in their young lives. The journals and books in my project will be used in the classroom and at home, for students to write about their feelings, goals, and dreams. The books will help to teach kids and tweens, the life skills needed to be successful. They will provide motivation and promote social emotional wellbeing by increasing their self-esteem and celebrating their uniqueness. These books will help them understand life challenges that all kids deal with, and how to overcome them. This will help them to have a positive growth mindset, and experience feelings of comfort and joy this season!
