Today was a fun lesson learning the fruits. The difficultly came in one of the games, the students needed cards with pictures on it instead of just the words to increase the understanding of the activity. I am learning how much language learners need as many modes of learning as possible. Children have a love to move and to dance. Learning can be fun and engaging and still effective!
