My Project

Puzzles and board games can totally make a difference within the class. Not only are they fun, but they also promote critical thinking skills. Plus, they can help improve memory, concentration, and creativity. It is a hands on way to engage with students and make learning more enjoyable. By receiving these games we will be able to work on skills such as socialization, teamwork, and patience.

My goal for this project is to help create a positive and inclusive classroom environment where students feel motivated and excited to come to school and learn.

My students are very tech savvy, which leads to some skills having to be explicitly taught. Which is why I am trying to get them some games and puzzles.
