Funded Aug 8, 2024Thank you so much for funding the Student Success project. I have acquired quite a few students to working on improving their grades and behavior in return for a little time at the end of the week on the Nintendo Switch. I know it may seem silly but those 10-15 minutes every week where they are recognized for their hard work, keep them going. It has also given them the opportunity to be the expert in our classroom, as they had to teach me how to set up the Nintendo Switch and how to play the game :D
As for the Legos - these have helped me be much more inclusive educator. We have a few twice exceptional students who are in our Affective Needs program and they spend some time with me setting up and programing a robot Lego. They have a best friend who is not twice exceptional but has been joining them in our education time and the succulent Legos affords him the time to show off his building skills as well.
These items have truly made this year so great for myself and for my students and give them the opportunity to show off their skills in a different form.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Small
