My Project

Living in Florida afternoon thunderstorms are a part of our daily life. Sadly when this happens my students do not get to enjoy recess outside, and we are required to find ways to have recess inside. My goal is to make indoor recess a time that students actually look forward to rather than dread. This project will help provide my students with educational, fun, and entertaining activities to play during their indoor recess time as well as help to facilitate positive social interactions with each other.

There are many positive social benefits board games provide for students such as communication, teamwork, winning/losing strategies, being fair, and following rules are just a few examples of how we can continue to learn during our indoor recess time.

These activities would provide this opportunity for my students to work on critical social skills as well as continue learning and stretching their brain muscles while enjoying indoor recess or during free time in the classroom.

This project would ensure my students have a variety of indoor recess materials when the weather is not appropriate for outside recess.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
