My second grade students are eager and bright English Language learners. They enjoy learning through hands on and sharing new knowledge with each other. When they learn something new, they beam with pride and demonstrate it through their reading, writing and speaking. Classroom lessons often depend on background knowledge for students to connect to new learning. This becomes a challenge to most of my English language learners. My students lack this background knowledge which makes it difficult for them to create pathways to new content, thinking processes, and rich vocabulary. This becomes even a greater challenge when our classrooms have limited resources for science, social studies, art, physical education and field trips. Through funding from Donors Choose, I am able to provide the needed background knowledge to students with lively hands-on experiences and activities that will open their world to new learning.
