Second grade enjoyed having author Caris Snider come to PES to read her book titled There's an Elephant on my Chest. The main character of the book, Allie, struggles with anxiety and worry. Allie reaches out to important people in her life that teach her techniques to help her deal with some of those emotions. Caris spoke to the students about ways that Allie was able to handle her emotions and how they can practice some of those techniques if they ever start feeling big emotions and they are unsure of what to do with them.
