My students have a language based disorder which significantly impacts their social comprehension and communication skills, especially when interacting with others in a social situation. It is a challenge for my students to interact with peers of their own age. Learning to play checkers will provide them opportunities to learn age-appropriate games and learn the specific language that is used in the game. The materials I have requested, Peradix Chess Set Magnetic Chess Checker Board Game will help to support the life skills needed to socially interact with others, build friendships, create opportunities for communication, either verbally or non-verbally, and build patience for becoming a good-sport while learning the strategies needed for critical thinking. This type of activity will build critical thinking skills, focusing and looking for details across all subject areas in school. I am excited to see my students socially bloom and have fun while learning.
