My Project

My Students

I teach a diverse group of energetic, curious learners who love hands-on, engaging activities.

Many of my students are multilingual and thrive when learning through play. They enjoy working together, solving problems, and building connections in a welcoming environment.

My Project

Help me give my students a collection of board and card games to celebrate the Lunar New Year and enjoy Fun Days throughout the year. These games—like Connect 4, UNO, and Trouble—will bring joy, foster teamwork, and improve critical thinking.

The games I’m requesting include:

Word Games: Pressman Word Hangman Game and Boggle Classic Game to build literacy skills.

Strategy Games: Connect 4 and Sorry! to encourage strategic thinking.

Collaborative Fun: Skip-Bo, UNO, and Classic Dominoes to promote teamwork and problem-solving.

Cultural Classics: Mancala and Tangram Puzzles to spark curiosity and cultural learning.

Organizational Support: Waterproof zipper pouches to store and preserve the games for years to come.

These games will enhance our Lunar New Year celebration and be available for use throughout the school year during indoor recess, brain breaks, and special events.

Why This Project Is Important

Board and card games are more than just entertainment—they are tools for building social-emotional skills, language development, and cultural appreciation. For my multilingual students, these games provide a relaxed, engaging way to build confidence and connect with peers.

Your Impact

With your help, we can make our Lunar New Year celebration unforgettable and provide tools that keep learning fun and meaningful all year long. Your support will empower my students to play, learn, and grow together!
