My Project

I am a Career and Technical educator at a Middle School Alternative Education campus. I absolutely adore my students! They bring boundless energy, creativity, and an eagerness to learn that makes every day exciting and full of potential. Despite the challenges they face, they show incredible resilience and a unique spark that lights up our classroom.

The games I am requesting will make a tremendous difference in their learning by providing hands-on, collaborative experiences that reinforce critical life skills.

Strategy games will enhance their problem-solving abilities and critical thinking. Cooperative games will foster teamwork, communication, and empathy, while educational board games will support their academic skills in a fun and interactive way.

My primary goal for this project is to create a dynamic learning environment where students can develop essential life skills through play. These games will make learning enjoyable and prepare them for real-world challenges by building their social, emotional, and cognitive abilities. The tubs and cart will store the games and keep them accessible.

What makes my students special is their incredible diversity and the unique perspectives they bring to our classroom community. They come from various backgrounds and possess a wide range of talents and interests. The games in this project will allow students to develop life skills such as communication, teamwork, patience and self-control. By incorporating games into our learning, we can harness their enthusiasm and curiosity, turning every play session into a powerful educational experience.
