MY CLASSROOM: THERE IS / THERE ARE

My Dream Classroom is a ready-to-use A1 English lesson for young learners that helps students describe classrooms and practise there is / there are through vocabulary, reading, grammar, speaking, and creative writing activities.
Students explore classroom objects, compare different learning spaces, and imagine what their perfect classroom would look like. Through visual exercises and personalised tasks, learners practise affirmative and negative sentences, questions, and short answers in meaningful contexts.
