These stories give my kids real language for what is happening inside of them. We talk about naming emotions, noticing how they show up in our bodies, and figuring out what to do with them instead of just reacting. For many of my younger students, this is the first time they are being directly taught that feelings are normal and manageable. We practice calming strategies and problem solving together, and I am already seeing them use that language outside of my room.\r\n\r\nReading in my space looks like sitting in a circle on the rug, pausing often, and letting kids share their own connections. We stop to talk about what the character is feeling and what they could do differently, and sometimes we practice the coping skills right there together. It is interactive and honest and sometimes a little loud, but it is real learning. A few of my students who struggle most with big emotions are the first to engage with these books, and I have watched them start to say they need a minute or that their \"angry spot\" is getting too big. That kind of awareness at this age is huge. These books have truly given us a shared language around emotions, and I am so grateful for that.","fullyFundedDate":1760725036927,"projectUrl":"project/teaching-life-lessons-that-last-forever/9724579/","projectTitle":"Teaching Life Lessons That Last Forever","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Emily","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10268120_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y97&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758202227831","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10268120"},{"teacherId":10263124,"projectId":9726774,"letterContent":"These musical instruments have made a big impact in my music classes for multiple grades.
