Learning With Games

Help me give my students memory games, card games, checkers, and stress balls to use at home to help them learn over the summer.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schrage's classroom raised $236

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students will be learning many different language strategies and organizational skills with the memory games, card games, and board games along with our summer material. Since my students need materials over the summer, I will be creating learning bags for them. I will also be providing them with a card game and a stress ball so they can have something to look forward to while completing summer work. My students will be able to learn how important it is for them to continue working all summer. I am requesting memory games, card games, and board games so my students can use their English language and learn how to play with family members. You will be enhancing our curriculum, a great deal for these ESL students.
