My Project

Life is unpredictable. Many young students face things in life that they cannot comprehend because of their age. This leads to emotions and feelings that they can't understand or control. As their teacher, I want to give them an outlet that is helpful for them.

Students need to see that others are facing the same struggles and emotions.

These SPOT book sets and books listed in this project will help my students see themselves through another light. This project will help them understand that they are not alone in how they feel and the circumstances they might be facing.
