My Project

In a world where kids are constantly inundated by technology, social media, stress, and cell phones, it's essential to give their brains a different kind of challenge and also, a break from screens. Help me enrich our library environment and help students relax while having fun with floor board games, like the requested Giant 4 in a Row, the Giant Tower Game, and the corn hole board sets. One of my main goals is to creat a safe space, in which kids can not only research and study, but also escape from the stressful environment of the classroom.

Providing games creates an atmosphere of togetherness and helps kids connect with new people while also helping them relieve stress and have fun.
