My Project

I have just started an exciting new year with a new group of students, and they have been my highest group of readers yet. Most of them are reading at grade level, and those who are not, are only slightly below. As a result, I do not have board games that match their level of reading. Many of my games are for beginner readers so I am wanting to expand their choices to push them further along.

I am hoping by having these games, my students will be able to do more skill building without technology while still having fun.

The students will also be working independently so by having games that they can play without adult help will also be important to our classroom dynamic. While we have access to iPads, I believe kids spend too much time on technology and want to incorporate more tactile games in my classroom. Having a big selection of games will help accomplish this goal!
