My Project

This year has proven to be a struggle with my students. My second graders have never had a complete "normal" year of school since this pandemic started. They often times have trouble staying focused and building relationships with their peers. Because of this, my classroom community is lacking. I feel like the backbone to every successful classroom is a strong sense of belonging and students engaging and interacting with one another. I want my kids to have these games to bring a sense of community to our classroom as well as build strong social-emotional relationships between my students.
