My Project
Last year, I brought games from home and let the students use them on rainy days and at the end of the day on Fridays. I was amazed at how many students have not played a card game, board game, etc. It quickly became the highlight of the day. I was asked numerous times if they could get out a game. The most exciting part, they didn't realize they were problem solving and making decisions that would further them in the game and increasing their knowledge. My students, along with so many others, have never had a game night with their family. Time at home consists of time spent on technology. Privacy shields are also a student and teacher favorite. Students are able to have the privacy they need while
Working on independent projects.
It allows them to get the job done with less distractions.
