Teachers do so much more than just teach academics. We build a sense of community within our classrooms, creating a home away from home where we make our students feel safe, included, and loved. With the purchase of these books, my students will be able to take a copy home to share with family and friends.
“Our Class is a Family” is a book that will help build and strengthen that class community.
Kids learn that their classroom is a place where it’s safe to be themselves, it’s okay to make mistakes, and it’s important to be a friend to others. When hearing this story being read aloud by the teacher, my students are sure to feel like they are part of a special family. “Family isn’t always your relatives. It’s the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what.” -Unknown
Another important issue teachers and parents face is teaching young children how to make wise choices. Decisions can often pose challenges, particularly for children who struggle with impulsive reactions. “Choices Are My Superpower” aims to empower children by teaching them that they hold the power to shape their day. By considering the consequences of their actions, they can avoid a gloomy outcome and instead illuminate their day with bright possibilities.
