My Project

Students learn best when they can interact with their peers especially through playing games. I would like to give my middle school students the opportunity to work in a cooperative manner while still learning math and using critical thinking skills. These various card games will enable my students to enhance their social emotional skills and create a fun and safe learning environment. The card games will also be a great resource when reviewing for district and state assessments. Please give my students the opportunity to feel the Power of Play 2.0 in the classroom setting.
