My Project

In today's digital era, maintaining personal connections can be challenging. Children must engage in face-to-face conversations with their peers. It is just as crucial for students to foster skills such as learning how to problem solve, compromise, win and lose gracefully, and cheer each other on. Since the pandemic, I have observed a decline in these skills.

Allowing kids to "just be kids" in tech-free play is essential.

I want to provide my students with ways to play that don't involve technology.

This project will allow my students to step away from screens and focus on developing critical collaborative skills that will last a lifetime.

Ms. Macon
Grades 3-5
