Snacks for the Stomach / SEL Literature for the Soul

Help me give my students snacks to fuel their brains to help tackle SEL literature.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Colton's classroom raised $422

My Project

Hello all! As we continue on the pursuit of learning, we find ourselves hungry for not only more snacks but also more Social Emotional Learning (SEL) literature.

Knowing a juice/fruit snack is waiting at the end of a day packed with high learning expectations always produces a smile, and the Little Spot books are wonderful vessels to teach an array of SEL topics from emotions to life skills.

Previous donations from this series have proven hits in the classroom and the students are heard using the vocabulary authentically.

Please consider donating to help fuel our minds, hearts, and curiosity!
