This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I greet my students at the door each day using their name. They love to hear their name and using it is important to build relationships with them. They come from an inner city neighborhood, full of crime and hardship. Our school is a few miles away from where they live, and, if they miss the bus, they will probably miss school.
I want to support the whole child and increase social and emotional wellness for my students by providing opportunities to develop the ability to recognize and respond effectively to their emotions and interact with others.
I provide as many enriching opportunities for my students as possible to help build background knowledge through experiences to help them develop life skills and make real world connections to academics. All of my students receive free and reduced-price meals. They come to our school below grade level in reading and math and may be sleep deprived and hungry.
My students have talents and skills they haven't even discovered yet. I try to help them identify and act on their untapped potential. They are full of energy and depend on structured instruction to get the most benefit from school.
My Project
These games will help my students build interpersonal and social emotional skills that will help them be healthier and happier individuals. My students made a list of what they would love to have in our toolkit for play.
When children play, they develop imagination and creativity as well as physical, emotional and intellectual strength that help them with their academics and relationships.
Play helps with developing the brain by making new neuro connections - highways to problem solving and strategies for success. These analog games encourage real face time in class where students learn how to be with others and have healthy fun.
