What is my approach? Why I am different!
I am a huge believer in making learning fun and utilizing purposeful play. I avoid worksheets and repetitive quizzes. Instead, I prefer to focus on using board games, card games, and interactive reading and programming. Some of the games and tools I like to use to work with students on their literacy and numeracy skills are…
BOOGLE
YAHTZEE
SNAP IT UP
UNO
SKIP-BO
PRODIGY
SCRABBLE
SUDUKO
LUCAS & FRIENDS
FLASHCARDS
READING.COM
EPIC! KIDS
KHAN ACADEMY KIDS
YAHTZEE WORD
BINGO
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA: LITERACY INSTITUTE - FOUNDATIONS TOOLBOX
I want students to enjoy their time working with me and feel like they are accomplishing their goals! I will always push them to grow, but make sure that I stay within the Zone of Proximal Development and make sure to take breaks when students feel like they are reaching the limit.
