My Project

I am requesting games that will allow my students to learn through play! Students are expected to learn skills that will make them successful in life! They are 5-7 years old! I teach the at risk learners! I want them to see that learning can be fun and they can feel successful!

Learning through play is developmentally appropriate for our youngest learners!

I teach struggling readers and writers in grades kindergarten, first grade and second grade. My passion is to help my students feel confident, and cultivate a love of learning!

I will set aside a block of time each day to allow my students time to play the games with other students! I will also loan out the games to parents in order to develop a strong home/school partnership!

My students deserve all of the opportunities I can provide to develop a strong foundation in literacy! Please help me accomplish my goal!

Ms. Rachwal will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 14.
