My Project

My adorable third grade class is recovering from the COVID 19 years. They are doing an amazing job learning both academically and socially. During rainy days or too hot days, we have recess indoors. The kids need new games to play together during these times.

Hands-on, cooperative games benefit all children.

Our classroom is a full-inclusion class with students of all abilities. It is wonderful to see ALL of the children playing and cooperating together in one place. Kindness and cooperation are vital skills in the world and play brings out both!
