My Project

My language learning students are in Kindergarten through 5th grade and are curious and playful. This year, we need new learning reinforcements, and a lot of them, so I’ve asked for a few different games. The games are Scholastic learning mats, reading games, crayons and glue.

Many of our new english language learning students need various ways to learn and reinforce learning, and naturally they love to play games.

These materials will be really helpful for my classroom and will make sure all of my students can do their best.
