Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As an ESL teacher, I have the incredible privilege of working with students from around the world, each bringing their own unique experiences, languages, and perspectives into our classroom. What I love most about my students is their resilience, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn. Despite facing the challenges of a new language and culture, they approach every day with a sense of determination and curiosity that is truly inspiring.

Our classroom is a vibrant community where students support each other, celebrate their diverse backgrounds, and share their dreams.

My role as their teacher is to help them bridge the language gap so they can express themselves confidently, participate fully in the school community, and thrive academically. This is where the English from Scratch textbook will be a game-changer.

English from Scratch is designed specifically for students who are new to the English language. It offers a step-by-step approach, starting with the very basics and gradually building up to more complex language skills. The textbook is packed with engaging activities, real-life scenarios, and visual aids that make learning English not only accessible but also enjoyable. It supports students in developing their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills, providing them with the tools they need to communicate effectively both inside and outside the classroom.

With English from Scratch, my students will have the opportunity to gain confidence in their English abilities, enabling them to participate more actively in class, connect with their peers, and achieve their academic goals. Your support in providing these textbooks will have a lasting impact, empowering our newcomers to succeed in their new environment.
