My Project
My students are amazing! My student body is composed of inspiring young people who possess all the characteristics and qualities for greatness. They have a zest for life that is unmatched and an eagerness to share and spread that energy wherever they go. They give their best effort each day and strive to meet their academic and personal goals. They inspire me each day to be a better educator.
My students are young adults with keen interests and personalities, and are a wonderfully unique and eclectic bunch, teaming with untapped potential and talent.
The sky's the limit. They will go on to do great things. They truly are our future and that future looks bright.
After sitting out a few puzzles and games that we had in our Media Center, I observed how quickly they got my students' attention. They began working on them before school started, during their lunch, and after school. The best part is that their phones were down, and they were building bonds with each other while working and playing together. The most amazing thing is that students who normally don't interact were having conversations and helping each other out.
Puzzles help engage the curiosity of the student and encourage creative and abstract thinking, sometimes without the student even knowing it.
For this project, I am asking for puzzles and games. My goal is to have a variety of puzzles and games so that multiple students can be working or playing at the same time. Help me bring this project to life!
