Think and Play

Help me give my students fun and engaging items to encourage thinking and playing.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Allison's classroom raised $406

My Project

Help me provide my students with engaging items that will stimulate thinking and playing.

Items that I have requested include pickleball - a game that I could play with my students outside during recess; a critical thinking game of patterns called Azul; and various art supplies.

My students are often hanging out in the classroom during recess. This has led me to buying a table tennis set to play inside the classroom. This has exposed them to a brand new game. Now, I want to introduce them to pickleball and encourage them to play outside.
