My Students

I am an ESL grade teacher in Pennsylvania. My classroom is made up of many eager 3rd to 8th graders. I also have a wide range of reading and math abilities in my classroom. I am the teacher with an ESL classroom.

My reading levels range from per-kindergarten to eighth grade.

It's important that I read with these children every day in order to get them on grade level by the end of the year. All my students get free or reduced-price lunch, and all these children love coming to school.

My Project

I am asking for some necessary classroom basics to get our year off to a great start! My students would love to have a very special place to learn. I am so excited to have found some necessary and exciting tablecloths to make our classroom look great for them! This will help our learning space beautiful, efficient, inviting and fun! I have moved classrooms to a different building, which is very outdated. I would like our classroom to be a reading and writing retreat. I spent a lot of time trying to create an inspirational, beautiful, relaxing, motivating and safe place to learn to read, write, speak, and listen for our ESL population! I am creating different learning areas in the room using the tablecloths on the outdated table. Students will have sections in the classroom that are every inviting to make our classroom look more like a home. Please help us make our classroom complete.
