With engaging characters and relatable scenarios, these books help students recognize and name their feelings, understand empathy, and learn strategies to manage emotions in a healthy and constructive way. We are deeply grateful for this donation, as it supports both academic and emotional growth—building strong foundations for learning.\r\n\r\nIn each classrooms, \"The Spot\" books are used to guide SEL lessons, small group discussions, and classroom routines. We use them to introduce concepts like kindness, confidence, responsibility, and emotional regulation, then extend learning through interactive activities, role-play, and group conversations. Students who struggle with self-regulation or the demands of the school day especially benefit from these stories, as they provide concrete tools and visual strategies they can apply in real time. Whether it's calming down with \"Peaceful Spot\" or expressing big feelings with \"Emotion Spot,\" these books offer a shared language and consistent support that help all students feel seen, heard, and empowered.","fullyFundedDate":1748987420149,"projectUrl":"project/social-emotional-library-yay/9393183/","projectTitle":"Social Emotional Library!
