My Project

My students need these games to help improve their social emotional growth and well-being. A big gap in their learning since Covid is interacting with their peers in appropriate ways and understanding what appropriate social behaviors are. Playing games and interacting with the other children will help them to strengthen their communication and turn taking skills. It is also important for them to learn to work in cooperative groups and to listen and respect what their classmates needs are and express their own in a constructive way. There is also materials to help organize the games and noise canceling headphones are great for the children that can get overstimulated by the noise of playing games.
