My Project

Learning doesn’t have to be just a lecture, it can be fun! History can be learned through puzzles and trivia. Geography and Civics can be learned through various boardgames and trivia. Help me supply my classroom with different games and reading material, that will make learning fun. I feel when students are having fun. They are more engaged in the lesson and more likely to retain what you have taught them. Please help us get the supplies that we need in order to transform our classroom into a fun and engaging learning environment.
