My Project

Getting students to work together has been a challenge. Due to their past restrictions on staying home through the pandemic, it has taken a toll on their social-emotional learning skills. My hope is to boost their learning and excitement through games!

Creative resources are needed to boost social-emotional learning and a sense of belonging in a classroom.

My hope is to use these resources to get students excited through hands-on methods. By creating engaging activities through TPT resources I am able to utilize other teachers activities and bring them to life for my students. Creating daily games that are related to History can be tricky. Utilizing other sources would be very helpful!

My goal as a teacher is to get students to stay on task and less distracted and focus on the lesson for the day and days to come.

Ms. Hoota
Grades 9-12
