I am asking for various products to help students continue to learn without realizing they are learning: air hockey, mini table tennis, and baseball pinball games. After a long day of school, the last thing they want to do is continue to learn. With these products, students will have fun learning motor skills and communication skills while waiting for their parents to pick them up. This project will allow students to pass the time away while still learning and gaining social confidence. My National Honor Society students have already set up ideas and ways to incorporate all students to enjoy this gameroom with various PBIS incentives. It is a great idea and I told them I will help in any way that I can. I believe my school is an amazing community. I am hoping that this project will allow some of the younger students to have fun with the older students while still learning. I believe this project will allow students to continue their educational experience at school while waiting to be picked up at the end of the day. Thank you.
