My Project

Come wind, rain, snow, or shine, students need to be able to explore different aspects of learning and have fun while doing it. When those stormy weather days come, and they can not go outside for recess, students need ways to explore and engage with each other without always using electronics.

From puzzles, art supplies, games, and even books, each of these items help spark the mind for exploring, learning, understanding, working with others, and enjoyment.

As a teacher in a rural, Title 1 school, with over a third of my students from low income families, these items are greatly appreciated for my classroom.

Mrs. Madsen
Grades 6-8
