My Project
In my classroom, we celebrate diversity and strive to create an inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive. Many of my English as a New Language (ENL) students are bright, eager learners who face the unique challenge of navigating their coursework in a language they’re still mastering.
To support these students, I am seeking funding for translation pens—a powerful tool that can instantly translate text, helping students understand complex vocabulary, instructions, and concepts in real time.
These pens will allow my students to independently access the curriculum and participate more confidently in class.
With translation pens, my ENL students will be empowered to focus on learning rather than struggling to decipher material, enabling them to keep pace with their peers and achieve their full potential. Your generous contribution will make a tangible difference in their educational journey, fostering both academic growth and a sense of belonging.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in our incredible students!
