Help me give my students board games that they can enjoy together, positive reinforcements, and fidgets that will help them maintain their focus while being active learners.

Celebrating 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
I teach 12 wonderful and bright students in a low income, high poverty school district. My students face a lot of challenges in and out of the classroom and need social, emotional, and behavioral support in order to succeed and be active members within the community they live. We are in a substantially separate classroom where we focus on increasing social skills and academic abilities. My students truly are amazing, kind, and beautiful. Although my students have a hard time balancing their home and school life, when they are engaged in energetic, fun, and engaging learning they can and will thrive like all children.
These materials will ensure that my students are learning in a positively motivated classroom, having positive social interactions with each other, and allow for the opportunity to use tools needed to stay focused.
These prize box options will serve as a positive reinforcement and will assist my students in meeting certain expectations along the way. They respond best to a positive behavior reward system, and by having prizes and comfortable seating they are interested in, they are more motivated. In our classroom, students earn Dojo points which they can cash in for specific items in the prize box. The fidgets will serve as reinforcers for them to maintain their focus while being active learners.
I want this project to provide my students with fun and entertaining activities to play during their indoor recess and incentive time at the end of the day. These board games will provide many positive social benefits for students such as building relationships, problem solving, communication, teamwork, winning and losing strategies, being fair, and following rules. These are just a few examples of how we can continue to learn during our indoor recess and incentive time. We thank you in advance for your generosity!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
