Help me give my students social-emotional learning games, board games, motivational posters, and outdoor games so we can learn about ourselves and each other while having fun!
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
My seventh- and eighth-grade students are an exuberant bunch of teens who love to socialize and have fun. My students are diversity personified: from painfully shy to audacious, from studious to silly, from spoiled to neglected—and from being treasured to experiencing trauma.
Even after being back in school for nearly two years, they are still struggling to adjust to school and academics.
Although I can't solve their personal problems, I can continue to do my very best to provide my students with learning opportunities that will excite them and allow them to focus on developing their hearts and minds.
In our busy computer/engineering/STEM lab, we work on positive behavior using both personal and whole-class incentive systems. I would like to offer social-emotional learning games (Talk It Out and Conversation Starters), standard board games (Uno, Taboo, What Do You Meme, Exploding Kittens, etc.), and outdoor games (soccer balls, yard games, ping pong set, etc.) so students can open themselves up and interact with EVERYONE in class. Our transgender kids can sometimes be further in their shells, and these games will give them an opportunity to relax and have fun with their classmates.
My dream is to have a classroom where gender, race, sexuality, and any other differentiating characteristics fade away so we can all come together as humans with gifts and flaws who can succeed wildly when we learn to work together and accept each other for the unique people we all are.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
