Word Brain Games

Help me give my students Fun Highly Educational Literacy Brain Games to Improve Cognitive Reading Skills

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Meldrum's classroom raised $288

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Students love to collaborate and play learning games in the school library. These games will help improve various cognitive and literacy skills. These word games will be available to play during school library visits and will be used for free time during lunch and for positive behavior celebrations. These games will have a huge impact with peer social group settings and will teach them how to work together. Students will use teamwork when playing the games together. My goal for this project is to enhance the library media center with fun activities that will help promote literacy and social skills.
