My Project

In school, students learn social skills and how to manage emotions and it is called social and emotional learning (SEL). During the school year, students have the opportunity to participate in the SEL activities. Students will engage with peer socially and build friendships by playing games and read books to build SEL Skills.

Please help students get games and books to help build friendships as well as social and emotional skills.

The games and books will be the tools to help students engage with peers. Thank you so much for your support.
