Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Help me give my students a variety of games to help promote teamwork.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fortuna's classroom raised $235

This project is fully funded

My Project

During the winter and rainy weather, my students cannot participate in outside recess activities. These board games and other activities will help my students learn how to work collaboratively and as a team to complete a goal. Teamwork is a skill that the students will carry over when completing academic assignments as well. I believe that alone we can accomplice a little, together we can accomplish a lot. This is the message that I hope to get across to my students as we work together to create a collaborative classroom.

Ms. Fortuna Edward Williams Elementary School Grades 3-5
