Summary
Schreen Marvin, a teacher at Centennial Elementary School in Flowing Wells Unified School District in Tucson, will use the AZEdNews Classroom Grant sponsored by Davidson/Belluso for her Playing Is Learning initiative.
"The Playing is Learning initiative brings game play and building back to the classroom to teach multiple subject area concepts in a fun and engaging way," said Marvin, who teaches second grade in a Title I school that serves children with diverse backgrounds.
The AZEdNews Classroom Grant helps teachers like Marvin, through the generosity of sponsors like Davidson/Belluso.
"As a primary teacher, it's imperative that I build the foundational understanding for concepts that they will use through high school. Let's make that foundation strong by ensuring the learning sticks," Marvin said.
Marvin told Davidson that her second graders are into playing with learning.
The Playing is Learning initiative helps students "To do different learning activities through social studies or language arts or math or science in hopes that it sparks an inspiration in them that they can do learning outside of the classroom with things that they might have at home," Marvin said.
The grant will help provide building materials students can use to further develop those engineering ideas they're learning in the classroom, Marvin said.
