Building Social Skills through Games!

Help me give my students opportunities to engage with one another in social emotional opportunities through games! Having games in the classroom is a great incentive and will help them to work on social skills.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a self-contained, special education teacher, I find that my students need additional opportunities to develop social skills. Having games in the classroom can allow students opportunities to build on their social skills such as turn taking and conversation skills.

The opportunities to challenge one another to an educational game will allow them time to improve their social emotional needs in the classroom.

The games selected will require thinking and communication skills. Providing opportunities for students to learn though games, will help build confidence, and community in the classroom. Thank you!

Mrs. V. Intermediate School 145 Joseph Pulitzer Grades 6-8
