My Project

I work with many students of varying age and abilities. Finding activities and supports to keep them engaged is an ongoing process. Each area of language is addressed throughout each year and engaging busy bodies needs fresh new ideas.

I am looking for new activities to help my learners in acquiring new language skills.

These items will help my students to learn adjectives, prepositions, actions and social emotional skills. These language abilities will help them to communicate with their teachers, peers and family members. Growing their language will help them learn in all areas and prepare them to be successful in school.
