My Project

I am wanting to purchase items for my students to use during indoor recess. When the weather is cold or snowing it is so difficult for students to get their energy out inside. Students will have various choices of board games, collaborative activities, and card games to check out during recess.

By purchasing games and activities for my students I am encouraging cooperative play and social skills.

These items will give students an opportunity to problem solve without the use of technology. While technology is important in our evolving society having good communication and problem solving skills is essential in every aspect of life.
