Learning to Free Play With Meaning
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Alderfer's classroom raised $187
This project is fully funded
My Project
My students had Kindergarten virtually. They are still learning in 2nd grade how to play and how to lose. We read books about being a good sport and how to be kind, but they need practice.
These games will be an opportunity for students to experience that mistakes are how we learn. They will be learning social skills and problem solving while playing. The puzzles will encourage problem solving and conversations that will be positive.
These games will give students an opportunity to learn from each other, and how to communicate more effectively.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
