My Students

My students are amazing kids who just need a little extra help to thrive. As a school with more than half from low income families, my students need a few extra supplies. With some homeless families, not all my families can provide everything my students need. My students are very active and like to play games. By providing my students with the correct supplies they will be able to learn while they play. My students will learn life long skills, like cooperation, how to form a sentance, how to tell time and how to count money.

My Project

My students need a few balls and jump ropes to play with during recess. By having balls the students can play games together supporting their cooperative play. The jump ropes will help them have fun while being active.

Learning can be fun with the right materials!

By providing students both exciting board and card games the students will learn to work together. They will also learn neccessary life skills, like how to read an analog clock, count money and form a correct sentence. Students learn best when they are playing. By providing my students with these games they will continue to learn, while they believe they are just having fun.
