Wii Need To Get Motivated!!

My students need a Nintendo Wii Fit plus with balance board and a Wii sports resort package.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shannon's classroom raised $258

This project is fully funded

I teach 125 active 5th graders. We are trying to come up with ways to motivate our children to earn A's and B's. My students like to be active but I am always looking for new ideas to keep them moving.

I am looking at ways to get students interested in school. Kids love to play games so I plan to incorporate the Wii into my classroom as a reward for making good grades. I also want to do anything I can to get the students in my school more active and enjoy while doing it.

I will need Wii games to get me going. I am asking for the Wii fit and Wii sport for our classroom. I think the kids will be excited to get the opportunity to play a Wii. Most of my students do not get this luxury at home.

We need your help to keep our students active in learning. Let's work together so Wii can keep our kids excited about school!!
