Closing the Gap!

Help me give my students fun activities to close the reading and math gap! Thank you!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Benware's classroom raised $1,074

This project is fully funded

My Students

I have 26 second graders, all of whom have been deeply impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. All need help catching up with their reading and math skills and I need help filling in the gap!

Thank you for your consideration!

My Project

I am asking for fun games, resources, and activities that will help close the gap created by COVID-19 in regards to math and reading. These activities can be used individually, in small group, or in whole group settings.

These activities can be done at school and sent home to be used with family members, then returned!

We know younger grade students need to the have reading and math gap close ASAP so they won't suffer in the upper grades and the more resources that can be used and the more fun and engaging they are, the better! Thank you!
