Social Emotional Education for the Socially Distanced
Help me give my students access to new reading materials that I can share with them during socially distanced instruction and virtual instruction and counseling.
At our elementary school we are "learning to live and living to learn". Our school focuses on three positive behavior standards: Kindness, respect, and perseverance. The 640+ students of our school truly embody all three traits as they encounter learning opportunities and build relationships with others every day.
We have a transient student body impacted by a nearby military installation, as well as socioeconomic factors.
Our students readily welcome new students and military students to the school and help them acclimate to school routines and culture. I absolutely love seeing our students help each other learn!
My Project
These books will be shared with students during classroom counseling instruction in order to increase students' social emotional awareness and social skill set. Lessons will take place in socially distanced classroom settings, as well as during virtual instruction. Books, such as these, are crucially important at all times, but especially now as teachers and students work to adjust to this new normal and educational changes during COVID-19 times. Coping skills, character education, and social justice awareness are all topics covered within these texts, and are topics our young students need to learn sooner, rather than later.
More than half of students from low‑income households
