Help me give my students indoor recess materials that allow for social distancing.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Blackburn's classroom raised $161

My Students

My amazing students make up one of four fifth-grade classrooms in a diverse school of about six hundred students and one of two inclusion rooms. Together, we are part of the largest elementary school in our district.

These incredible fifth graders come to school fully trusting me to provide them with opportunities to grow and succeed.

With working in an inclusion classroom, we have a variety of needs, from low performing academic to behavioral needs. These students deserve a learning environment that matches their needs, creative lessons that challenge their thinking and continuous support to prepare them for the future. It is my goal to make sure I have all of these things in place so they can reach their full potential.

My Project

This year has been anything but normal, so I am trying to provide comfort within our classroom. Not only do our students have to use social distancing, but they are unable to share materials. These new rules are fine when students have the necessary materials, but it makes indoor recess a little challenging. Since we live in Wisconsin, indoor recess is inevitable.

I am hoping to be able to provide my class with activities they can complete independently, while still enjoying their recess time.

I have begun to offer Perler Beads, an activity I loved as a kid, and the response has been overwhelming. I am looking at increasing my supply, so I can create more independent stations for students to work.

An additional positive is these not only allow students to be creative, but it encourages pattern following and some incredible fine motor skills.

Thank you for your consideration!
