My Project

I am requesting a variety of graphic novels and a bookshelf to organize them.

These graphic novels have been chosen for their strong social and emotional themes.

The themes include self-acceptance, self-regulation, being a good friend and community member, conflict resolution, etc. I will utilize these graphic novels with my students to demonstrate social and emotional learning topics through literature. These novels will increase my students' SEL skills while they enjoy the stories unfolding.

Thank you for looking at our project!
