My students are incredible! My students are in kindergarten, first, second, third, and fourth grade. They are curious, inquisitive, hard-working, and dedicated. All of my students have Individualized Educational Plans because they have been diagnosed with disabilities.
All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch at school.
They come from high poverty areas, and they all love coming to school. My students are brilliant individuals who learn differently than their peers. These students will be successful, and it's my job to create learning opportunities that ensure this.
My Project
Board games play a crucial role in children's development and growth. It is an important aspect of brain development as they help acquire logical and reasoning skills, boost critical thinking and gain spatial reasoning. Playing board games helps with learning, social and communication skills as well.
Having access to these board games will have such a positive impact on my students.
Many of them do not have these board games at home and I know that they will greatly benefit from using them at school. I know that they will improve their strategic thinking, reasoning skills, taking turns, winning and losing with grace and cooperative play skills.
I am specifically looking to get copies of Rummikub, UNO, Rack-O, Blink, Jenga, Checkers, Connect 4, Jenga Guess Who, Farkle, Go Fish, Twister, Charades, and Phase 10.
