Armstrong School's second grade teacher, Stephanie Peterson, was able to purchase games and materials for her classroom with funding from a WEF grant. The purpose of this grant is to engage students in practicing social-emotional learning skills and to fully engage students who are English Learners. These games will provide equitable opportunities for all learners to participate and practice SEL strategies and language skills effectively while playing games. The use of pictures, colors and simple words has given all students access to these activities, regardless of academic or language levels. The students are engaged, forming new friendships and having fun while learning. Thanks to the generous support of the Westborough Community, WEF is able to fund grants like this one.
