My Project

Our classroom needs books that represents the students as well as their culture and community. Children love to eat snacks and have fun so why no,t learn some classic board games at the same time! After all that fun and filling up their tummies on snacks, we of course need to clean up and wipe down our spaces to get ready to learn and work the next school day. Students need to be reminded they can build up their self esteem by building upon team building skills and being a team player.
