My Project

The use of games is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math and language arts. Through the use of games children learn while having fun. They don't even realize they are learning. They just have so much fun playing. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will help increase their academic goals. My students can work toward mastering their math and language skills which will help them succeed in kindergarten. Playing games adds an element of fun in a full day of learning. We will use the games during our learning center time in math and language arts.

My goal for this project is to be able to supply fun learning to my students.

More than 70% of our school's students are low income and many have never played board games before. Through this project my students will learn how to play together and work together toward achieving a goal.
