My Students
My students are a hard-working group that are always interested in learning more! Culture has become a huge part of our everyday learning experience inside and outside the classroom. They are a wonderful group of students with desire to explore culture!
My students are a group that truly embody the Italian culture.
Every lesson is another opportunity for them to expand their minds. Whether they grew up with the culture or not, they appreciate every aspect including music, food, language and more!
My Project
My students love learning more about the Italian culture. By providing them with these Neapolitan cards, I will be able to teach them how to play the games and encourage speaking the language while having fun!
My students will be able to play these games in groups, with differentiated instruction depending on the game type.
Just as children in Italy play the different games according to age. I hope to bring joy to my classes by exposing them to this cultural tradition.
These conversational skills are key to gaining proficiency in a language. But better yet, these cultural traditions are key to enjoying the language.
More than half of students from low‑income households
