Ms. Norris Eastway Elementary School
Durham, NC Grades 3-5

At our school about 40% are native Spanish speakers. I am an ESL teacher responsible for working with all the newcomers to our country and school.

I have students eager to learn English but need support to learn at their particular level and pace. They are often on the sidelines until they pick up enough English to participate fully in school activities.

This learning system would enable each student to hear, read and say correct English as many times as needed to get it right. I could use it daily to help them practice on their own. I could also lend it to other teachers to use in their classrooms with their English learners.

Your support would make it possible for my students to get into the mainstream more quickly. Their practice with this system would boost their abilities and their confidence to participate fully in their classrooms.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
