My Project

Hello! I am a Kindergarten teacher at an inner city school in Wisconsin. This year, my wonderful students are working really hard in developing English language skills, both my native and non-native speakers. More than half of my class are English Language Learners and it is their first time in school.

With that, I am working really hard with our bilingual specialist to better support these students not only in their oral language of English but also to maintain their Spanish language roots.

A Reader's Theater with books and puppets of well sequenced stories will help with not only oral and auditory learning but also with reading, comprehension, and social skills.

Please consider donating to my classroom to help reach all my students in their language development. The early childhood years are the most crucial for building the foundation for not only reading success but for the love of learning!

Thank you so so much!

Sending Smiles!
