My Project

I love that my students are unique, energetic, and always willing to bring their own personalities into the classroom. I want my classroom to be a place where students feel comfortable, connected, and excited to learn. These games will give students opportunities to interact with each other while developing skills that are important both in and out of the classroom.

Games such as UNO and other card games help students practice math skills, strategy, communication, and decision-making.

Connect-style games and Battleship encourage logical thinking, planning, and problem-solving, while games such as Perfection help students develop focus and quick thinking. Having a variety of games will also give students opportunities to practice cooperation, patience, following directions, and good sportsmanship. Most importantly, these resources will help make my classroom a welcoming place where students can learn, interact with others, and have fun while building skills.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
