Help me give my students educational games to enjoy during their indoor recess time.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Francia's classroom raised $246

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 Project

Please help me bring joy to my hard working students during their recess time! My students quite often spend their recess indoors due to our cold climate. In addition to the weather keeping the students indoors, our playground is under construction for the foreseeable future. So they will most likely be kept indoors until the Spring! These games will not only help them enjoy recess indoors, but will continue their Math and Reading learning in disguise! The games I chose are fun, but include content related Math strategies and Reading strategies. My students are kind and bright young individuals. They deserve to enjoy their free time because they work so hard all day long. Any help to bring joy to my students is greatly appreciated.
