Teaching Social Emotional Learning With Heroes

Help me give my students what they need! My students deserve a diverse and interesting SEL curriculum. I believe the books will give them just that. Items in the classroom need to be replaced. Thank you!

My Project

Social Emotional Learning is now a curriculum in itself. I want to be able to teach using examples of people who struggled and succeeded. I want to give them real world examples that they can buy into. I believe these books are diverse and interesting.

My students not only deserve great learning opportunities, but a beautiful and engaging classroom.

The rug will give a splash of color, design, as well as help me teach the continents. The desk dividers are needed, just because of wear and tear on our current dividers.

I appreciate any and all help. Thank you so much!!
