My Students

My students are active learners. They play sports, act in plays and know each other's families. These students understand the meaning of collaboration and learning. They know many personal things about each other's lives. The neighborhood that they live in has houses in close proximity to the other homes. They can walk to school or to their friends’ houses.

My school is a large part of the community.

The population of my students varies every year. This year I have a group of 3rd graders. Every year, I have students with diverse learning needs. They want to be active in their learning and are very curious. They want to be empowered to learn.

My Project

My students need to socialize through cooperative play. Having them play card games and board games will help them do this. I have found that my students have been needing the opportunity to play in small groups.

This past year my students have been online learning through technology and have not had the interactions with students their age.

There is a need for Social Emotional Learning.

I believe these games will help the students reconnect with each other, create an environment for talking and cooperating and manage their behavior with structured play.
