My Project
Board games are not just a source of entertainment; they are powerful tools for education. By incorporating a variety of educational board games into our classroom, my students will have the opportunity to learn through play, building essential teamwork skills, and enhancing their ability to work collaboratively. These board games are carefully selected to not only reinforce academic concepts but also to promote effective communication.
A comfortable and serene reading space is not only conducive to academic success but also promotes mental well-being.
The meditation seats will offer my students a space to unwind, relax, and delve into the world of literature.
Mindfulness cards will encourage students to take a moment during their chaotic days to practice mindfulness. This practice goes a long way in promoting student mental health.
In supporting this project, you are contributing to the growth and development of a group of students who are not just learners but creators, thinkers, and collaborators.
More than half 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
