My Project

This tool is an important tool to have in the classroom to help the students with strategizing through game play. Monopoly, Life, Sorry and Mouse Trap are games that they have to strategize in order to win. The fidget spinners and the desk bike are tools for students to use so they may stay focused on the lessons. So, harnessing the power of play is a great way to help the 4th graders learn all sorts of life skills without them even realizing it. The board games will bring fun and promote strategic thinking and collaboration, competitiveness, and problem-solving. The students with learning disabilities will use the under the desk bike to release some energy during instructional time so they may focus

The popcorn machine is an added treat during strategy game time and very nutritious for the students.

The 4th-grade students will become critical thinkers using the various board games. they can be conversational starters among the students about the various strategies they have used while playing. Thank you for your support with my 4th graders.

I love the fact that my students are becoming critical thinkers and problem solvers.
