FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Chestnut's classroom raised $596

My Project

I am requesting fun games and resources to make learning as fun as possible this year and give students as much opportunity to work together in the classroom and still learn!

These games will give students an opportunity to collaborate and learn with more hands-on, fun, standards based activities with less screen time during their small group instructional time.

Students and teachers have been relying heavily on iPads to learn and communicate on a daily basis. Though technology is still important, I would love to provide students with more hands-on interactive opportunities that do not require a device. All of these items would be great additions to our class.
