My Project

I have the amazing opportunity to work with students learning English! Young learners always enjoy learning more when they get to learn through games. My hope is to make that a reality. For my project, I selected numerous games, picture cards, and even flexible seating options, all geared towards inspiring joy in learning. These materials will engage students who potentially feel behind in school and are ready to check out by reminding them how enjoyable learning can be! I also added a few items to keep the materials well organized and the classroom clean. Thank you for your support!
