Mrs. Lyford from Hampton NH is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

You Are Never Alone When You Are Reading a Book!

Help me give my students books that were carefully chosen to cater to their social and emotional learning. These books will help my students connect, process emotions, relate to characters and work through tough situations.

My Students

I have 13 bright eyed second grade students that make coming to work EASY for me! My class is full of energy and love. My students are kind, eager to learn, creative, happy to help and hard working.

This is my first year as a second grade teacher and I am L O V I N G it!

My students love reading books that interest them, hands-on math, science experiments, group work, computer games and writing about things they love!

My Project

One of my biggest goals as a new teacher was to be sure my library would be filled with books that my students WANT to read!

When entering our classroom library, I want my students to find books that they can relate to, books that have characters they can connect with and say, "ME TOO!"

I want our class library books to grab their attention, fill them with knowledge, spike their interests and help them feel/process emotions!

Books in this bundle were all chosen with my students social and emotional learning/needs in mind!

These books will make a difference 100%.
