My students are in a urban community in SouthCentral Alaska. My class in particular has quite a bit of diversity in it with several cultures/ languages being spoken. The area my school services is primarily high-poverty and high-need. Our state has some of the worst statistics for domestic violence, sexual abuse, rape, depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, and suicide. For a lot of our students, school is their safe space, and it's an honor and privilege to be a part of that refuge for them.
Despite the isolation of our state and the hardships nearly every student has experienced on some level, my students are bright, kind, funny, and willing to learn.
They are resilient, flexible, and inspirational, and would be most grateful for your support. Thank you.
My Project
When it's too rainy-- or if we have a windchill below -20 degrees, our students stay in the classroom for indoor recess. As it stands right now, the only options for them during this time is to draw, color hastily-printed off coloring sheets, or talk amongst themselves. Students often see this time as boring and frustrating.
With the certainty of indoor recess coming up this school year, board games would be a wonderful resource to have to help keep students entertained and socializing appropriately.
Students would enjoy their time more, and generally would be a lot easier and safery to monitor during this time as well.
