This is my 4th year teaching at this school. It is a Title I school where 100% of our students receive free and reduced-price lunch. As an English as a Second Language teacher, I work with a vast range of students from many different cultures.
We have students speaking languages such as Hmong, Spanish, Karen, Burmese, Somali, Persian, and more.
As an EL teacher and Interventionist, I work with these students on language acquisition, oral language, and reading and math skills.
My Project
My students are in need of engaging games that will help build their oral language and vocabulary. Many of the students I work with have English as their second language. I like to use games and hands-on objects to build their engagement, interaction, social, and academic language as well as their love for learning and speaking.
Games are such a fun way for students to interact with each other even while learning.
These games would be a great addition to our classroom as with these games I can see my students' language building and becoming more fluent with their speaking.
