My Project

I am continuously inspired by my students' unique qualities and their potential for growth, academically and socially. In my classroom, positive social interactions are as crucial as academic achievement. Introducing card and board games excites me as a means to cultivate their social skills. Each requested resource promises not just entertainment, but invaluable opportunities for my students to learn and grow together.

By integrating these games into our routine, I aim to provide meaningful opportunities for social interaction and skill-building.

The LANDOR Quick Cups will promote quick thinking and cooperation, while Hasbro Gaming Connect 4 and Pressman Classic Checkers will challenge strategic thinking and problem-solving. Card games like UNO and Bicycle Rider Back Playing Cards will encourage turn-taking and emotional regulation. These activities offer structured yet enjoyable opportunities for essential social skill practice.

My primary goal is to foster an atmosphere where students collaborate, communicate, and support one another. Their diverse backgrounds and interests enrich our environment, fueling my passion for teaching and reinforcing my commitment to their overall development.

Ms. Beres
Grades 6-8
