My Project

The weather is always changing, and so is the minds of children. Instead of putting them in front of TV screens when the weather is bad, why not give them some old-fashioned board games to play, like when we were younger? With these board games, my students will be able to use their imagination, think, and not know they're learning and having fun at the same time. With these board games and activities, my students will be engaged, along with being active. Help me make learning fun again for students!
