Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 40

These games were exactly what I was looking for to help engage my stduents and have fun while learning! The learning target for each of the math and reading games correlates with the Florida State Standards! When I asked my students what they enjoyed the most about the games they said "the games make me smarter," "they are amazing," and "they helped me to learn how to play fair." Orginallyl I wrote the grant just for my class of 18 students, but the other second grade classes have seen the games and have asked to borrow them when we are teaching certain skills. Thank you so much for your support in helping my students!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

My students will use the reading and math games as engaging centers to reinforce learning. As well, the games will teach them to work together and collaborate to solve problems.

What will be done with my students

The games will teach my students essential reading comprehension and math skills in a fun and reinforcing way, so that they learn that they do have the skills to participate in their classroom successfully.

Benefits to my students

Students learn best through visual, and hands on organization and through fun activities that easily enable them to be successful. These games are action-packed. Students hunt for treasure as they read for key details as well as race to finish their paper routes as they explore informational texts. They make fractions out of pizza and learn place value through the mystery haunted house and much more!

Budget Narrative

These games will be purchased through Lakeshorelearning.com. They will help each student interact with each skill and each other.
