My Project

My students often want to pull out their phones or headphones during free time, effectively isolating themselves from the class. As a teacher, this is the exact opposite of the classroom culture that I want to cultivate. Instead, having a reserve of board games readily available for students could be a fun and interactive way to curb this habit! Being able to provide my students with a multitude of fun games to play with their friends or table mates would be a great way to keep students off of their phones and engaged in our classroom community!
