My Project

I work with 5-8th grades, with the majority of my students being in 7th and 8th grade. My concentration is to help them work on social, emotional, and team building. I am always looking for ways to help them with these skills.

Please help me give my Junior High students games and outdoor activities that help strengthen their social and emotional skills, and help them build on getting along as a group.

Since I just took over this postion the beginning of the school year, I continue to look for activities and supplies to help me give my students the skills to be successful at school and in life.
