Gaming to Learn

Help me give my students a fun way to learn math and reading. I work with small groups of students who work so hard to learn and sometimes learning should be fun!

My Project

I am a special educator that works with small groups of third and fourth grade students. Reading and math are a struggle for my students. They work so hard all week, that sometimes a game day is warranted.

I plan to use these games on Fridays in small group to have a fun learning experience for all before going home for the weekend.

Not only will these games help with learning reading and math skills, but they also help build social skills. Learning should be fun for all. Thank you.
