Funded Jun 6, 2024Thank you so much for funding the resources needed for our Hands-On Grammar unit! Both my advanced English learners and German students have put them to good use in learning or re-learning the parts of speech and how they work in both languages.
My students were excited and curious the first day when they saw the myriad of colored paper, colored pencils and stencils awaiting them at their tables. They had no idea that grammar could be made into a fun, tactile activity.
Students have commented that associating the parts of speech with colors, shapes and symbols have helped them "see" how the grammar works and to remember it better than previous lessons. They enjoyed creating colorful foldables that continue to serve as a valuable reference as we continue to work with grammatical concepts. I have seen more "light bulb" moments teaching these important, albeit abstract, concepts with our new resources than with more traditional approaches in my past teaching.
Both my students and myself sincerely appreciate your generous contribution to making learning fun!
Danke schön!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Warren
