My Project
The need to connect to one another, to collaborate on meaningful work, to create beauty, and to nurture mental and emotional health is more important than ever. These tools with help us do that. In 2021 I had a room of struggling 9th graders needing credit recovery. They did not engage with each other or the content, until I let them play Uno one afternoon. Fifteen minutes of cards resulted in willingness to tackle content. I also intend to use games as a springboard for writing and speaking activities. My room is arranged in table groups of 4-6 students. Desk organizers will enable shared accessible supplies for collaboration; power strips at each table will allow for less disruptive charging of Chromebooks and personal devices. I also teach in a dark room with a tiny window, thus the need for literal light!
More than half of students from low‑income households
