Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In this project there are games that I enjoyed in elementary school that I want to introduce to my students. I have some indoor board games and some outdoor equipment for recess.

My goal is for my students to have fun and interact with one another during recess, that depending on weather might be inside or outside.

In class students are on their computers all throughout the day and I think if I give them fun alternatives, they will be eager to interact and play with each other. There are choices for both indoor and outdoor recess so no matter the weather they had something to play! Included in my project are water balloons for hot days, Rubik's cubes, because my students have requested them specifically, and balls for kickball and 4 square.
