Help me give my students the gift of communication and actively engage in a new world of English Language learning!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. D.'s classroom raised $1,499
This project is fully funded
My Project
My students are English Language Learners who have traveled here from many different countries to get an education as well as build a new life. They are strong in their home languages and enjoy sharing about their experiences and rich culture. As they are navigating a new language while they are learning these pockets talk devices can help open up a new world for them.
My students can use these devices to translate conversations between themselves and either teacher or other students.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
