This month we asked Jadyn Kramp, one of our Amplify Ambassadors, to share a helpful program recommendation. She said:
“Be creative. I love doing virtual field trips and bringing the lessons alive. Make the questions into a game, use highlighters, play videos, have the kids act out scenes. Make it fun! Your interest gets the students more involved than any fun activity you plan.”
