My Project

The LEGO sets we are requesting will play a crucial role in enhancing our ENL students' learning experiences by providing a tactile, engaging way to explore new vocabulary and grammatical structures. As students construct models, they will also be constructing sentences, engaging in storytelling, and practicing new language skills in a context that promotes creativity and critical thinking. These activities are particularly effective in a language learning environment as they allow students to express themselves and communicate in ways that go beyond traditional pen-and-paper exercises.

Our primary goal for this project is to foster a more interactive and immersive learning environment where ENL students can thrive.

We aim to boost our students' confidence in using English in both spoken and written forms, while also nurturing their creativity and problem-solving skills. Additionally, we hope to encourage collaboration among students of different language backgrounds, promoting an inclusive community where every student feels valued and supported.

Our students are an incredibly diverse and resilient group, each bringing their unique perspectives and backgrounds into the classroom. This diversity is not a challenge to overcome but a strength to celebrate. Many of our students are bilingual or multilingual, navigating new cultures and languages with enthusiasm and courage. Their eagerness to learn and adapt, despite the obstacles they face, inspires a dynamic and supportive classroom environment where all students are motivated to succeed and help others do the same.
