My Project

From things like Covid, living in the city, and neighborhood violence, my students are suffering socially and emotionally. Kids are acting out and having a hard time talking about how they feel and what they are seeing. I have noticed that sitting down with them to play games gives kids the security to talk freely. They are also making friendships by playing Operation, Yahtzee, puzzles, and Mario Kart. Stuff like board games, books, and different puzzles help my kids learn how to interact with classmates. They can also take them home to have game nights with their families.
