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 am requesting a Nintendo Switch for our Anime Club to enhance social-emotional learning through fun, collaborative gaming experiences. My students are incredible, creative individuals who thrive in environments that foster connection and teamwork. Many of them find it difficult to connect in traditional settings, but through gaming and anime, they’ve discovered a supportive and welcoming community.
By providing a Nintendo Switch, we can further enrich these connections and offer an engaging way for students to build important life skills.
Through games like Super Smash Bros., students will learn to collaborate, strategize, and communicate effectively. The games encourage healthy competition while promoting teamwork, making them the perfect tool to teach essential social-emotional skills. Students will learn to solve problems together, resolve conflicts, and celebrate their achievements as a team. These gaming experiences will not only improve their social skills but also create a sense of belonging that can sometimes be hard to find in a traditional classroom setting.
The goal of this project is to offer a space where students can come together, relieve stress, and support one another in a fun, low-stakes environment. By using the Nintendo Switch as a tool, we aim to foster a deeper sense of community, helping students feel more connected and confident in their social interactions. This project will allow students to experience the power of teamwork in a way that is both meaningful and enjoyable. Your support will make a huge impact, giving my students the chance to thrive not only academically but also emotionally.
