My students need games for center time during all subjects to help reinforce concepts taught during instruction.

Ms. Deegan Brookside Elementary School 54

Indianapolis, IN Grades 3-5

For the last few years, I have taught 3rd grade at an inner city school. I recently found out, that my principal wants me to loop up to 4th grade with most of the students I have now. I jumped on the opportunity because I really love the concept of looping with a class.

When teaching 3rd grade, I had used the 2-3 Take It To Your Seat Centers for the beginning of the year and the 3-4 level for the end of the year. I now would love to get the 4-5 levels and expand on some of the subjects my students can take to play.

I would love to get a higher level of the Take It To Your Seat Centers to incorporate towards the end of the year as well as get other Take It To Your Seat Centers to incorporate during our day. If I can incorporate levels 4-5, we can use those towards the end of the year, which would help my students achieve a higher level of thinking.

Your help will ensure that my students will be getting reinforcement of the lessons I am teaching through center games that they can take to their seat and play themselves or with a small group. The students I've had in the past have always loved to play these centers and you can make it possible for more students to experience these fun but educational activities.
