Finally, they have storybooks in their hands about some of the things that are part of their everyday life, such as feeling worried, getting angry, dealing with change and managing their big emotions. This is so important! \r\nOnce the books were in our school, the children couldn't wait to read them. Many of them I read aloud and then we would discuss them. This offered great discussion and sharing because the children realized that they were not alone in feeling these big feelings. This type of connection helps build relationships and friendships. \r\nThese books also encouraged them to talk about their feelings and I've heard from several parents that the children brought the discussions home to their families and parents were so thankful to openly talk with their children. \r\nThank you for being a part of this by putting the books into our children's hands!","fullyFundedDate":1775324458815,"projectUrl":"project/emotional-growth-books/10151631/","projectTitle":"Emotional Growth Books","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. S","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9506917_orig.jpg?crop=1008,1008,x2835,y819&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1712344320428","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9506917"},{"teacherId":9506917,"projectId":9943619,"letterContent":"This project was fun to watch!!!

They loved this project. It was messy and paint was everywhere, but it sparked discussion and creativity and brought the children together in the hopes of making someone's day by finding their special rock.
