My Project

Cultivating meaningful classroom relationships among students is just as important as learning the standards set by the state. It is amazing how board games motivate students to participate and make conversations, thus promoting collaboration inside the classroom. It is also important to see how board games allow students to learn a variety of concepts from ELA, Math, Science, History, and what not.

Playing board games is indeed a good avenue for students to develop critical thinking and strategy building skills, as well as promote flexibility in social interactions.

Your donations to this project will surely provide students an enjoyable classroom experience that is dynamic and unique, contributing to their overall holistic development.
