Help me give my students activities like Monopoly to help them build social skills, build classroom community and learn to interactive with other students in a positive way.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Prusak's classroom raised $231
This project is fully funded
My Project
We have about 220 students, and the average class size is 25 students per teacher. Our district has a high mobility rate so our time with the students is very precious! They typically enter kindergarten below level, which makes the primary grade levels so important. The students are wonderful with a strong desire to learn.
Developing strong social skills will help build a positive community in the classroom and give the students self confidence so they feel like they belong to a community of learners.
Strong social skills will help them develop into productive citizens as they get older.
Students will work hard at socializing with each other in a positive way in school using board games. They will practice solving problems with their verbal skills. Students will be able to earn prizes and stickers weekly the entire year with positive behavior!
Our school does not have any private funding or a parent teacher organization to fundraise. We are only able to stock our rooms with supplies and resources using our own personal money. I have been a teacher for 14 years in the same district and a member of our Braided Behavior Support Services Team. The students deserve the best, and I want them to desire to be lifelong learners with a positive self worth
Nearly all students from low‑income households
