Learning Can Be Fun for Everyone!

Help me give my students games they can play at home with their families and in virtual school!

My Students

This year my district is starting the school year off with distance learning! I teach at a low-income, urban school and many of my students that have entered my class this year performing below grade-level. Despite this, I am up for the challenge of this new platform!

My students are doing very well with virtual learning, but I can see the stress of the parents when the kids are having issues connecting or navigating the digital world.

My students love math and like to be competitive in classroom activities!

I'd love to give some relief and fun to them because I know they are already stretched so thin! What better way to learn than to play games?! It's a win-win!

My Project

Families are stressed due to the effects of COVID-19, which includes starting the school year with their children learning at home. What better way to try to help kids learn and families relieve some stress than a game night? I am requesting reading and math games my students can play at home and in virtual school!

This list includes a game (akin to Monopoly) that students and families can enjoy together, as well as some games I can host virtually in small groups or whole-class instruction!

These games will boost their confidence and reinforce learning in ELA and mathematics!

Help make learning fun again! With so much uncertainty, we can bring some smiles along as we embark on this new journey!
