My Project

I love that my students have taken a liking to Spanish and are engaged. I want my students to be as diverse as they can be. My students have hit the ground running with their first time taking Spanish, but I need to add support to my students who are struggling with a foreign language. The supplies I have in my basket will be used to serve my socioeconomically disadvantaged students. I will need pencils and paper for them as well as a sharpener to keep their tools as sharp as their mind. The markers will be utilized for the drawing pads for students to write and share their answers with me and the class. The books I need for teaching Spanish will aid me in helping the students who struggle and need more reinforcement while also serving as enrichment for my other students. I stress the importance of language knowledge and how it benefits them in their future. Spanish has helped me tremendously in my career, and I want the same for them. As an Albanian speaking Spanish, I have found much success in the education world. Being quadrilingual has its benefits, and many of my students see that and thrive from that.
