Ms. Sisson from San Antonio TX is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Giant Games for Giant Brains

Help me give my students the opportunity to play safely! By using giant versions of our favorite games, we can play safely 3-6 feet apart. Giant chess will help keep our students playing chess throughout the pandemic.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are passionate about challenges and learning new things. They are eager to set goals and exceed them. Our school is in the heart of San Antonio and has a unique mix of students from around the city. We work with the 4th-12th grade on a design-focused PBL curriculum that helps students develop skills to identify and solve real-world issues.

My Project

Students love to play games and playing games like chess, checkers, and tic-tac toe help develop skills of strategy, problem-solving, and flexibility. During the pandemic, we have had to scale back our lunchtime activities in the library due to the need to stay apart. Giant games will allow us to take our games outside and keep students far enough apart to be safe.

Students also love to support the events around our city.

We have monthly school family field trips. Students will be able to take these games to outside community events like the San Antonio Book Festival and recruiting events. They can showcase their knowledge and learning to the entire city by teaching others how to play and strategies for success.
