My Project

My students are inquisitive, funny, and love learning. They energize a room with joy. Their laughter is infectious.

Board games and magazines are a fun and interactive way for students to learn and develop a variety of skills.

As a kid, I grew up playing board and card games with my family and friends. My daughter played board games like Monopoly, Life, Uno, and Candyland as well as read a variety of magazines.

Many students today are technology-driven and do not know how to play board games. Many of my students also need to learn and practice social skills that board games help develop.

Help me give my students access to magazines for current events and board games for social-emotional learning.
