Social Skills Learning in Action

Help me give my students the tools to support their emotional regulation. My 1st-5th grade students need instruction on social skills and love to learn through games, books, social skills activities where they can interact with their learning.

My Project

My wonderful special education students often need support with regulating their emotions, making friends, and learning social skills through play. We need more books, games, and learning tools to help us get inspired to engage in this challenging learning.

In a tightly scheduled world, the need for play has never been greater.

Please help give my students appropriate, interesting, and challenging tools that represent who they are and that they can interact and learn with. These books, games and visuals will allow all students a better understanding of the social emotional concepts that they need to practice to access their worlds.
