Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Help me supply my Kindergarten students with fun educational games. Studies have shown that playing games in the classroom can increase overall student motivation. Children learn through play; these games will help reinforce what they learn in school. These will help students become more motivated to learn, participate in class, and pay attention. Using different instructional approaches in class such as whole group teaching and using games will make it easier for students to pay attention and want to be more engaged in what they are learning. I will use these games to help direct small-group learning.
