My Project

I am reaching out to you with an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact on my students' education. As a teacher working with English Language Learners (ELLs), I strive to create an inclusive, supportive environment where every student can succeed. To achieve this, I’ve launched a project on DonorsChoose to gather the resources my students need to thrive.

The project includes:

1. A Cubby Classroom Storage Cabinet ($429) – This cabinet will help us stay organized and ensure that every student has a dedicated space to store their personal belongings, learning materials, and supplies. A tidy, organized classroom reduces stress and promotes a focused learning environment.

2. A $400 Gift Card for Teachers Pay Teachers – This will allow me to purchase a full year of curriculum tailored to English Language Learners. These resources are designed to meet their unique needs, making language learning more accessible, engaging, and effective.

Why this matters:

My classroom is made up of hardworking students who are learning English and striving to succeed in a new language. They face challenges that native English speakers might not encounter, but with the right support, they are more than capable of overcoming these obstacles. The resources I am requesting will help bridge that gap, offering them the tools they need to grow and succeed academically.

Your generous donation would directly benefit my students, empowering them to reach their full potential and giving them the best chance at success in their education and future endeavors. Every donation, no matter the size, will help make this project a reality.

Thank you for considering supporting this important cause. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of these bright young learners.
