Are You Ready For the Scrabble Challenge?

My project needs 7 Scrabble board games.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dixon's classroom raised $175

This project is fully funded

I teach 6th Grade English Language Arts in a once rural community that has recently experienced unprecedented growth after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Our school's main focus is vocabulary development. I am interested in using these supplies to hold class-wide, grade-wide, and school-wide Scrabble tournaments. I am in need of 7 Scrabble board games for my classroom. Each Friday, I will have Scrabble tournaments. By playing scrabble students will strengthen not only their vocabulary skills, but their spelling as well. My wish is to start a school-wide Scrabble tournament. Not only will students be strengthening their vocabulary and spelling skills, they will be having fun in cooperative learning groups not to mention having a healthy dose of competition. Thank you for taking the time to consider this grant. My students and I thank you for your generosity.
