'A' ohe hana nui ke alu 'ia: Together We Learn

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Yantone's classroom raised $833

My Project

My students need intellectual challenges so that they have the skills necessary to think, to have compassion & empathy, to possess a vocabulary pertinent to life's discoveries, to be clearly able to stand on their own two feet while solving problems and thinking critically.

Research into cognitive skills emphasises that developing inter personal skills and being able to debate the merits of having tangible intelligences is acquired by allowing students to play a variety of stimulating, thought provoking games.

Games allow students to think and show their thinking skills, without criticisms they are allotted freedom to build skills in logic. They must talk and interact with one another peacefully. Games promote peace, unity and the reality that no task is too big when done together by all. Together we learn while exploring endless possibilities for future endeavors.The idea is that everyone enjoys a relaxed learning atmosphere where both intelligence and kindness are applauded.

The task at hand is in providing opportunities for the intellect and imaginations of my students to grow, prosper and see that effort is required and dynamic for everything in life we may want to know. Playing games is an ideal learning tool.
