We are a magnet high school in New Haven, CT, that serves the city, as well as the suburbs surrounding it. Our students choose to come to our school to study either business or allied health. All students qualify for free lunch and often receive fee waivers for standardized testing.
Our students are some of the most interesting and driven kids you will ever meet.
Many students travel over an hour to attend our school and take advantage of the opportunities we offer. Many also come to school despite the many challenges they might face outside of the school environment.
My Project
Our class has been blessed to have so many donations and help to make our classroom feel more like a home and place to learn about ourselves and each other.
Friendly competition while learning new vocabulary is a win-win in our classroom.
The Scrabble games will help students challenge themselves to learn new words and feel successful. So many times students want to play games that involve electronics. Scrabble brings it back to a simpler time when people got together for game nights. Having Scrabble in an English classroom would be a great way for the class to calm down and just have fun!
