Learning Through Fun and Games

by Mary Miller
May 15, 2007

 

     It was a wonderful year in the Resource Room. We implemented hands on learning to reinforce basic skills and to review materials taught in the classrooms. We tried to make learning fun while trying to cover everything we needed to. The two subjects we put most of our focus on were math and reading.

     In reading the students read various books such as Sarah Plain and Tall, Are You My Mother, The Napping House, How to Eat Fried Worms, and several books from the Magic Tree House series. While reading these books we worked on vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency. We also played games such as concentration and Four-in-a-Row to increase vocabulary, but our favorite game was jeopardy.

     In math we used fun and games to learn as well. We loved to play multiplication bingo to help us learn our facts. When it was time to learn about liquid capacity and comparing them we made a Mr. Gallon. To help us review following directions and fractions we used some life skills activities and did some microwave cooking. Then to review geometry and basic shapes, we worked on string art projects.

    I had a great time working with the students and teaching them that learning can be fun. I am looking forward to next year and am already working on some fun and exciting new ways to help the students learn the basics through fun and games. I hope everyone has a great summer and will see everyone again in the fall.
