My Project

I have added some reading comprehension games to my classroom this year, and they have been a huge hit!

I would like to add more games to help students practice their reading comprehension skills.

Games are also a great way for students to work on their social skills. I have seen students being kinder to each other after implementing game playing time in class. It is great to see students learning to work with all of their classmates. I can't wait to see how much they grow after playing these games!
