Inside Recess Again...No Problem-o

Help me give my students creative ways to spend their inside recess days.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lewis's classroom raised $526

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will fund a variety of materials that can be used during inside recess days and extra reward days where the students have free choice time. I chose new and older games that are timeless and will encourage interaction with my students.

In the age of screens on phones and video games, students are losing the ability to communicate with others.

The games, art materials, and play dough will encourage my students to gather friends around and enjoy playing together. When students get to know their classmates, less problems happen with bullying and kids feel freedom to be themselves. That all helps create a healthy learning environment which I want for all of my students.
