These books will help teachers bring important lessons to life by introducing topics such as kindness, empathy, emotional regulation, problem-solving, making responsible choices, and building positive relationships. Through engaging stories and meaningful classroom discussions, students will have opportunities to connect these important life skills to situations they experience every day.\r\n\r\nOur teachers are excited to begin incorporating these books into their Second Step lessons and classroom conversations. Students are already showing excitement and curiosity, often stopping to look through the books when they visit the office. Seeing their interest before the books have even made it into classrooms has been especially encouraging! We look forward to using these stories to help students recognize emotions, understand different perspectives, and develop strategies for navigating challenges both inside and outside the classroom.\r\n\r\nThanks to the generosity of our donors, we now have additional tools to support the whole child. At West Elementary, we believe that helping students feel safe, connected, and understood is an essential part of helping them succeed academically. These books will provide opportunities for conversations, connections, and lessons that extend far beyond reading. We are grateful for your investment in our students and for helping us build a school community where every Redbird can learn, grow, and soar!","fullyFundedDate":1791985228810,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-build-strong-readers-leaders-a/10348350/","projectTitle":"Help Us Build Strong Readers, Leaders, and Problem Solvers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dawdy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7371396_orig.png?crop=1254,1254,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1782152323122","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7371396"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_30455","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":424,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":29,"percentWhite":44,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":16,"gradesServed":"2 - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":61.5,"schoolId":30455,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/alton-community-school-district-11/west-elementary-school/30455"}
