My Students

“All Children Smile in the Same Language”

This has been my motto to describe my diverse, multilingual students.

These students are eager to learn English and are beautiful, bright children who love to learn...all with shining smiles on their faces! I am in awe of my bilingual students who are persevering during these unusual times.

My Project

An iPad will help further my students’ interactive language learning while having fun!

By donating to this project, you will help my ELL students continue their love of playing online language games that foster and grow their language skills, all while having fun!

The iPad will provide another source of highly engaging, interactive learning. Besides language learning, my students can take turns using the iPad for brain breaks, and rewards. I can use the iPad as a second device to play interactive games such as kahoot, or to use as a portable device.
