Help Keep the Mind Sharp!

Help me give my students brain teaser puzzles and games to help keep their minds sharp!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Weeks's classroom raised $167

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach at a magnet elementary school. We have a residential class per grade level that is compiled of the neighborhood students. We then have 2 classes per grade level that are gifted/high achieving students. These students must be tested to enter and must maintain certain grades and behaviors in order to stay in the program.

My students come from all over the county for our exceptional magnet program.

I would like to help them achieve their highest potential in my classroom.

My Project

I would like to incorporate logic puzzles and games into my magnet classroom. I teach high achieving and gifted students everyday. These students need to be encouraged to think outside the box. Research has shown that incorporating brain teasers into your daily activity helps keep your mind and body sharp.

As a gifted teacher, these students need to keep their minds sharp in order to prevent boredom and to help improve their concentration.

I need these activities to incorporate in my daily routine for my students. These would be a great asset to my classroom and our school. Please consider helping make this happen for us!
