Social skills Rock!

Help me give my students the opportunity to have new books in the class library. These books teach social emotional values such as communication, honesty, compassion, manners, following directions and being kind.

My Project

The books needed for my project are a tool I can use to help teach my students cultural values. Values such as communication, kindness, why following directions is important, and how to be a good friend.

My ultimate goal is to have every one of my students graduate from my program and put myself out of a job by teaching them how to be good citizens, how to manage their emotions appropriately and help them to be the best they can be.

Each book has a week long lesson planned to provide my students with the opportunity to learn as much as they can from the book collection.
