My Project
Who says learning can't be fun?!
Many students seem to believe that learning cannot be fun; however, as a teacher, I do not have the same mindset.
I believe that students learn best when they are engaged and enjoying themselves.
My goal is to be able to have supplemental activities for my small groups to do as rewards, or perhaps when I am unavailable and a substitute teacher is present. These games can support their learning by putting their acquired skills to use. The games will also promote teamwork skills as students bond together.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
