My Project

These books will continue to enhance the STEAM TEAM classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that I am trying to build to include SEL topics. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities. It is important during this time in these students' lives that they establish and maintain healthy and supportive relationships and to effectively navigate settings with diverse individuals and groups.

With these new books, my young students will be able to learn from a variety of books that will allow them to learn and complete a STEAM project at their own grade level.

This includes the capacities to communicate clearly, listen actively, cooperate, work collaboratively to problem solve and negotiate conflict constructively, navigate settings with differing social and cultural demands and opportunities, provide leadership, and seek or offer help when needed. SEL is instrumental in building the following student competencies:

• Communicating effectively

• Developing positive relationships

• Demonstrating cultural competency

• Practicing teamwork and collaborative problem-solving

• Resolving conflicts constructively

• Resisting negative social pressure

• Showing leadership in groups

• Seeking or offering support and help when needed

• Standing up for the rights of others
