I teach in a wonderful school with the friendliest students and staff. You would be surprised to find out that 68% of our students are on free or reduced lunches. We do not focus on the deficiencies of our students, but instead we have high expectations for our students, and we help them reach their academic goals.

Our students respond well when they are shown genuine interest by their classmates and teachers. I find time and time again, that if my students are playing an educational game and everyone is enjoying themselves - learning takes place. Make me laugh, and I will learn.

Our students earn tickets throughout the school for excellence. Students use these tickets to purchase several rewards. One such reward is to eat lunch in my classroom and play games. This is also a time to walk around my classroom and visit the class pets and interact with many of the science projects. This time is enjoyed by the students because the atmosphere is relaxed and laughter comes easily. I am actively involved with the students playing games along with them. This is a wonderful time for students to converse with a variety of students as well as their teacher. I find students are more comfortable during this time to ask me questions or tell me things on their mind. During this time I also stress cooperation, good sportsmanship, and simple courtesies. This adds to the enjoyment of our Lunch & Games treat.

I taught math for several years and purchased several math games. We are presently using these, but I want to incorporate science games since this is now my specialty. I want the students to be familiar and comfortable with the vocabulary and the science concepts presented in the games. Your help in purchasing the games I have selected will ensure that much science learning will take place as children are excited that they are able to play with their friends and teacher. They probably won't even realize that they are preparing for the state science test they will be taking the following year! Your contribution will go a long way in making several classes of students happy and successful in science. Thank you.
