My Project

As a new teacher, I am constantly looking for new books to read aloud to my class. Elementary-age students love to be read aloud to, which is wonderful because it allows them access to a variety of social-emotional topics, as well as academic topics, helping them learn and grow.

The fiction and nonfiction books in this project were picked to help my students learn and grow socially, emotionally, and academically.

My students are facing a variety of issues each day. The problems they are facing, whether at school or home, can be addressed through the books chosen for this project. These books will help them to identify their emotions, teach them strategies for dealing with social/emotional issues, and help reinforce academic topics.
