My Project

My 4th graders are a wonderful group of curious, energetic, and kind-hearted learners. They love working together, sharing ideas, and cheering each other on. What makes them truly special is how they support one another and make sure everyone feels included. I want to keep building that strong sense of community in our classroom while giving them fun, meaningful ways to learn and connect.

My goal for this project is to bring in a variety of engaging board games that help students practice important skills in a playful setting.

These games will encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, strategy, and communication. They’ll also give students chances to practice taking turns, listening to others, and working as a team—skills that matter just as much as academics. By learning through play, my students can build confidence and deepen their friendships.

These board games will make a big difference by creating opportunities for joyful, collaborative learning every day. Your support will help transform our classroom into a welcoming space where students can strengthen their minds, their social skills, and their connections with each other. Thank you for helping us make learning fun and meaningful!
