Starting A Fun School Day

Help me give my students get excited about starting their day by warming up their brains with some hands on games and puzzles

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kharbanda's classroom raised $164

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My 4th graders come to school early and I want them to stimulate their brains while waiting for school to begin by playing games and doing puzzles. I want my students to be excited about coming to school. This would reduce the absences and tardiness that is a major problem in our school.

My students would appreciate an opportunity to warm up their brains using board games and puzzles.

This would get our days become more productive.

Please help us by making their mornings fun and get them excited about school.
