My Project

My 7th grade students have a daily period when they can access extra help, retake assignments, and work on homework. Some students are able to use this time very wisely, but some are finished with all of their work and are getting good grades.

I would like to offer enriching experiences for those students who finish their work early.

I want the experiences to be hands-on, so it doesn't feel as much like a school assignment. My students have Chromebooks and their default is to play online games. It is a constant struggle to find a variety of truly educational online games. I have some puzzles and games in my room but unlike Rubik's cubes, they only last one period and cannot be a challenge for a longer length of time.

Please help me give my students 20 Rubik's cubes to enrich their time. Thanks for your consideration!!
