Out of the Box

My students need the opportunity to learn how to play games and create and develop game strategy while creating lasting relationships in a positive environment.

My Students

My students are totally awesome learners, leaders, engineers, and citizen scientists! They are willing to learn about the world and put their best effort towards being a person who wants to have the persistence, dedication, and drive it takes to be an individual who dreams big and gives back to our world by striving for excellence.

Our students are diverse, but are ready to "break the mold" in their current life circumstances!

They want to learn to play board games! They requested the games that the grant is asking for.

Our 5th grade students would like to use our board games in the "garden" and not only be social and learn to play strategies but create new games with some of the games we requested- like checkers could be played, but the students will create new game pieces.

Being curious and excitable, my students are sometimes all over the place! They need the right equipment to research the possibilities in their young lives that can change them to become big dreamers.

My Project

Out of the box, is meant to be a chance for students to play board games, cards, frisbees while increasing game strategy, positive social interactions at school and at home. Its a chance for them to connect to their world by engaging the people around them.

Students will experience joy and happiness as they participate in social learning while playing games in the garden.

By engaging in awesome activities, like board games, planting plants, growing their future!

Their engagement with others will produce positive social engagement with their peers and family. They will want to show others how to learn games and engage with each other in positive ways by learning more about applied math and science.
