Teachers do so much more than teach academics. They build a sense of community within their classrooms, creating a home away from home where they make their students feel safe, included, and loved.
Our Class is a Family is a book that will help build and strengthen that class community. Kids learn that their classroom is a place where it’s safe to be themselves, it’s okay to make mistakes, and it’s important to be a friend to others. When hearing this story being read aloud, students are sure to feel a special sense of belonging.
