Help me give my students social emotional books to read aloud as a class or individual counseling.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Beane's classroom raised $346

My Project

The books I have chosen for this project will be used in individual and classroom counseling lessons. I would love to expand my school counseling library with books and headphones for all of our students.

In the past several years, I have noticed anxiety in elementary students skyrocket!

These books will help them to overcome their anxiety and be a great start for those hard conversations. My goal for this project is to have more resources available to teach students about techniques to calm down and about other social skills that are needed to thrive in life.
