My students need Jumbo 4-to-Score Oversized Game, an engaging game-based activities set that are fun games that build academic confidence in reading and math and promote successful learning. Growing evidence indicates that games allow students to focus well enough to learn better.
The majority of my students come from low income families with limited backgrounds and opportunities to grow as learners. All students receive free breakfast and lunch. Food is even provided for the weekend. They are very polite and very sweet children.
The children enjoy coming to school.
It is a very safe place for them. The staff all work together to make sure every child has the things they need, and they strive to make every child successful in school.

My students need Jumbo 4-to-Score Oversized Game, an engaging game-based activities set that are fun games that build academic confidence in reading and math and promote successful learning. Growing evidence indicates that games allow students to focus well enough to learn better. Who doesn’t like to play games? Not only are games enjoyable, interactive, and social, but they also work as a teaching tool to motivate and engage students in the learning process. Game-based learning also teaches students to follow directions, make decisions, review concepts, and discover new information.
Peer learning involved in game instruction allows group discussion, cooperation, thinking and problem solving.
Also, game-based instruction encourages teachers to be creative and more effective and helps them identify students who are struggling with the material through observations.
Classroom games, like the Jumbo Connect 4, add flair and student engagement to more tedious, yet necessary tasks like teaching math facts, grammar and spelling rules, building vocabulary or even reviewing for tests. Adding an element of competition motivates and energizes students.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
