Level Up Learning: Using Brain Teasers to Guide Instruction

Help me give my students puzzles, silly scents crayola dough, fidget spinners and other materials that are encouraging student expression through gamified learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brandy's classroom raised $501

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Encouraging Student Expression through Gamified Learning

I aim to provide my students with an opportunity to articulate their thoughts and feelings by integrating gamification into their learning experiences.

Utilizing these mindful materials, students will be able to collaborate effectively in group settings or engage in self-regulation techniques to achieve calmness when needed. This approach fosters a supportive environment that encourages both personal and collective growth.

Students will utilize games, puzzles, brain teasers, and coloring materials to enhance collaboration and the integration of gamified resources, ultimately improving academic discourse within the classroom.
