<div>Hi, my name is Paloma Ruiz, and I’m the founder of Inspire, Guide &amp; Nurture.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through our Books for Kids SEL Initiative, we bring free social-emotional learning directly into elementary classrooms — and extend that learning into children’s homes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many children experience big emotions like anger, frustration, and anxiety, yet don’t always have the tools to understand or manage them. Social-emotional learning helps children recognize emotions, build self-regulation skills, and develop healthy ways to cope — skills that support both academic success and emotional well-being.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through this initiative, we visit schools to host interactive SEL read-aloud experiences using carefully selected children’s books. During each visit, students actively participate in discussion, practice coping strategies, and learn age-appropriate emotional skills they can use right away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$25 helps provide materials for the classroom, a book and SEL activity for one child to take home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Makes This Initiative Unique
</div>
<div>Each classroom experience is designed to support both students and educators.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every participating classroom receives:
</div>
<div>• A social-emotional learning storybook
</div>
<div>• An interactive read-aloud and SEL lesson
</div>
<div>• A reusable, age-appropriate teacher lesson plan aligned with core subjects, including Math, Science, Language Arts, Music, and Art
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These lesson plans allow teachers to reuse the book and activities throughout the year, reinforcing emotional skills across multiple subjects and learning styles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each child also receives:
</div>
<div>• Their own SEL book to take home
</div>
<div>• A family-friendly SEL activity to practice skills together at home
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This ensures learning continues beyond the classroom and supports meaningful conversations about emotions, coping skills, and positive choices at home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our First Goal
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are currently raising funds to support our first participating classrooms in Palm Harbor, FL.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every book placed in a child’s hands is a step toward stronger emotional skills — both in the classroom and at home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Research shows that consistent SEL support:
</div>
<div>• Improves emotional regulation and focus
</div>
<div>• Reduces classroom stress and behavioral challenges
</div>
<div>• Strengthens relationships and confidence
</div>
<div>• Supports academic learning across subjects
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When teachers and families are both involved, children are more likely to practice and retain these skills in everyday life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How Your Support Helps
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised through this campaign will be used to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Buy SEL storybooks
</div>
<div>• Create teacher lesson plans and classroom materials
</div>
<div>• Develop family take-home SEL activities
</div>
<div>• In person interactive, school-based SEL read aloud
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a community-powered effort to give children lifelong tools for understanding emotions, building resilience, and learning with confidence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us begin with one classroom — and grow from there.
