My Project

Recess is the time for students to just relax and have fun. They are able to go outside and get their "wiggles" out. However rainy days do not allow for outside time and we are stuck inside either watching a movie or on Chromebooks. These board games would give my students something to do with one another while learning to read and follow directions. They will be able to work collaboratively and not just stare at a screen. This will allow for interaction and engagement on those bad weather days.
