This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Poitra from Kapolei, HI is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Teacher, I Need A Break!

Help me give my students needed brain breaks through fun games and puzzles.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Poitra's classroom raised $725

This project is fully funded

My Project

My 9th graders engage in 75 minute blocks each day and are busy learning ELA and World History in a combined interdisciplinary class. We love to take brain breaks as the lessons can get long, and what better way than to engage in a quick game or puzzle with classmates or teachers.

This project will not only help my students this year, but these games can be reused each school year.

Games and puzzles are great for all ages, and I guarantee my students will be appreciative of this opportunity and have fun while learning too!
