Building Community Across Language

Help me give my students exciting games to build our community across language!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nelson's classroom raised $245

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help my English Learner students build community across their diverse languages through fun games. This project will support their social development while also encouraging them to use their newly acquired English to communicate in an authentic environment.

By donating to this project, you will be aiding me in creating a safe and playful classroom community that encourages students to take risks by playing games with their peers.

These games will be used during structured breaks in between academic lessons to further deepen practical English skills and build community.

My students are a group of diverse English Learners from across Central and South America, China, Vietnam, Yemen, Morocco, Nigeria, and more. They are excited, engaged, and eager to learn. They are also very playful and will take full advantage of these games.
