My Project

My 6th graders are working toward big goals this year. We have a short amount of time in the mornings together to start our day off on the right foot. I'd love to create an open space for kids to come in and ease into their day, leading to more focus and teamwork throughout our day.

These activities, such as the gravity maze, play tube, and boxed diced games, will allow my student's opportunities to challenge their minds and build cooperative bridges as they work together.

I'm looking forward to encouraging their out-of-the-box thinking and collaborative skills. Your donations will provide so many options for these 6th graders!
