My Project

This year, in ESL, some of my younger students really struggled to gain basic concepts like ABCs and numbers in English. After doing an assessment in their native language of Spanish, we discovered that these students also lacked these concepts and skills in their native language. At that point, we decided to start teaching these concepts in Spanish and English. After we started using this strategy, students for the first time all year, started making big academic gains in both languages!

In this project, would like to repeat this process and help students make even more progress in learning English with these high quality bilingual and visual materials!

Items like the bilingual talking posters, games and manipulatives, will better enable students to gain basic concepts in both languages.

My students are special because they speak a 2nd language in addition to English! They work very hard and continue to keep a positive attitude. I'd like to reward my students for their hard work by giving them high quality learning materials that they are excited to work with.

My students love surprises and rewards so I can not wait to see their reaction to the new learning materials and the progress they make in English after we have this project funded.
