My Project

The games I’m requesting will provide my MLL (Multilingual Language Learner) students with engaging, hands-on opportunities to practice essential language skills. These games will help students build vocabulary, improve sentence structure, and enhance their ability to communicate clearly. Through interactive play, my students will learn to work collaboratively, apply critical thinking, and use academic language in a fun, low-pressure environment.

Our goals for this project are to:

- Strengthen oral language development through cooperative games

- Increase students' confidence in speaking, reading, and writing English

- Reinforce key academic vocabulary related to core subjects like science, social studies, and math

My students are incredibly curious, hardworking, and resilient. Many of them are learning English while also mastering new academic concepts. Despite the challenges they face, they approach learning with enthusiasm and determination. These games will not only support their language growth but also foster a love of learning through play.

With your support, we can make learning more interactive, meaningful, and fun for my amazing students!
