My Project

This year, I’m transitioning to a new grade level, and I’m thrilled for the opportunity to grow as an educator and support a new group of learners! However, this change also means I need to rebuild my classroom resources to match the needs and developmental level of my new students.

One of the most effective ways I’ve found to engage young learners is through educational games.

These games make learning fun while reinforcing critical academic skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and foundational subject knowledge.

With your support, I hope to bring a variety of hands-on, grade-appropriate educational games into our classroom. These resources will help my students build skills in literacy, math, and social-emotional learning—all while having fun.

Thank you for helping me create a vibrant, engaging learning environment for my new students. Your generosity truly makes a difference!
