My Project

Help me provide my students with wonderful books about topics they need help with. Students even now are struggling with social emotional learning topics. These books are a wonderful resource for students.

These books cover a variety of essential information about topics relevant to kids in school these days.

They provide a story that the kids can relate too, and discuss ideas in a none threatening way. All grade levels love to listen to a good read aloud and these books are some of the best tools available for educators.
