My Project

Students need recess and schools supplies. Students need pencils to work when I have them for their learning. I do not have a pencil sharpener in my area when I work with the students so they need a way to sharpen their pencils. Students who I cover for recess need games to play during indoor recess. I picked these folding mancala set and connect four games because in the past they have been students favorites. The students can play these games and have fun and enjoy their recess time. Students can take a well deserved beak from their school work during indoor recess.
