My Project

One of my goals as a teacher is to help spark each child's interest in reading and math. Reading is such an important part of everyday life and we are working hard to get each child reading on grade level before they move on to third grade in order to set them up for success. Games support student learning by engaging students, helping them to recall important information. The more engaged students are, the better their understanding will be.

Learning through games truly helps make learning fun!

It helps spark the interest of my students, helping them to be successful!

Education is changing every single day, and so are the interests of my students. Our classroom does not have a large collection of learning games, so I would like to have some that will hold their interests and support them with reading and mathematics in my classroom. My students and I appreciate any and all help! Thank you!
