My Students

Are we done yet?? Worksheet after worksheet that's what I have to ask myself! What ever happened to making learning fun! Quality educational games will help my students not only to learn but to want to keep learning all day long! Help me make learning fun again!!

We are a small community school in a giant district.

We have students of mixed abilities and backgrounds. Due to our size and mixed background (over 50% title one or low poverty) we often get overlooked as not being desperate enough to qualify for resources. But all children deserve a quality education!

My Project

Students learn in so many different ways! My class works diligently in their Reading and Math work books but that is not always enough. They need constant review and they need to be engaged in order for the lessons to be fully understood. These Language Arts and Math games will help my students further their understanding of the standards with review. They will be having so much fun they won't even know they are learning! The Geo Safari is like a educational video game; so engaging yet educational. The students will not be able to put it down! With these fun games, not only will you help my students learn the standards, you will help them have fun while learning!

Your donations will help create life long learners!

The more my students enjoy playing these educational games, the more our standards and lessons will be mastered! Please help me make learning fun again!
