Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Tools

Help me give my students critical thinking and problem-solving resources and games for my gifted students. We also need batteries for our Edison Robots when we learn about coding and programming.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gallus's classroom raised $551

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

My students enjoy learning through playing games. We will be using these games and materials in our gifted enrichment classes. My students need more resources and games to practice problem solving and critical thinking. Students also learn important sportsmanship skills by playing games.

We will also need batteries for our Edison Robot Unit.

In this unit we practice coding and programming. Some students may want to pursue a career in computer programming after working with the Edison Robots.

These units make learning fun and encourage out of the box thinking.
