My Project

My students LOVE a good challenge! I do my best to get activities and games for the classroom that give them opportunities to learn and expand their thinking, and we are always on the lookout for new ideas!

These games will help to promote strategic thinking, and give my diverse students opportunities to work together, develop relationships, and create new ways of solving problems!

It's so important for children to learn new ways of thinking at a young age so that later in life they have the skills to problem solve and think creatively in the real world and I'm hopeful this project will help with that!
