I teach an amazing group of 1st-graders, at a high poverty, inner city public school in Indiana.
The majority of my first graders are on the free or reduced breakfast and lunch program.
I have students who are from single income families or being raised by grandparents. They are very diverse in their backgrounds and represent many cultures. They are eager to engage in learning. They have such inquisitive minds. My students know how high my expectations are for each one of them!
My Project
My students need games that encourage teamwork and social skills. The games will provide students opportunities to interact socially through games. Students will be able to have brain breaks with the games during inclement weather. The games will encourage all students to develop verbal and social skills. First grade students are often exposed to indoor recess games for the first time. They are interacting with their peers while enjoying engaging games such as HedBanz and Hungry Hungry Hippos. The students are able to build relationships with their first grade peers while exploring games. Through your donations they will be able to have the experience of indoor recess games and puzzles.
