My Project

My goal is to enrich the learning environment of my classroom by providing access to high-quality SEL books. These resources are invaluable in helping my students develop crucial skills such as self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and effective communication. Currently, SEL time is integrated into our curriculum rather than a stand-alone time. By integrating SEL into our curriculum, our schools aim to nurture not only academic excellence but also emotional intelligence and resilience in our students.

One of the key aspects of the selected books is multicultural characters to ensure that my SEL book collection reflects the diversity of my classroom students.

It is crucial for students to see themselves represented in the texts they read. Therefore, I am committed to selecting books that feature characters from various cultural backgrounds and experiences. By offering a range of perspectives, I strive to create an inclusive learning environment where all students feel valued and empowered.

Your contribution will purchase a diverse selection of books that cater to the unique needs and interests of my students, enhancing their learning experience and fostering a positive classroom culture. Thank you for donating to build this book collection to make a difference in the lives of my students. Together, we can empower them to reach their full potential academically, socially, and emotionally!
