Learning Through Play

Help me give my students math and reading games to keep learning fun!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Apple's classroom raised $283

My Project

My exceptional students are creative, curious, energetic elementary schoolers. They love to play and learn. Lessons go best when they can learn through games.

The students I teach have disabilities that impact the way they learn.

Sometimes school is a source of frustration for them but they, and I, want school to be a source of productive struggle and joy.

The games I am requesting have simple rules, engaging designs, and are aligned to the skills we work on in the classroom. When I announce a learning objective and then pull out a game to play, their eyes will light up and they'll be starting the lesson with a positive attitude.
