My Project

My students come from all over the world and are eager to learn to read and write in English. My students don't necessarily have the economic means to purchase these basic supplies or are often unaware what they need to bring. The most basic of schools supplies such as folders, pens, paper, and markers will be used to keep organized and create projects to assist in the learning of the English language.

I love to use art to explore our identities and make meaning of them, all while learning English.

You will see many art supplies for this reason, as well as basic supplies needed to express our ideas. The more organized that we can stay as a class, the more learning we can get done together. Your donations will go towards starting our year off on an organized and creative foot!
