My Project

As we approach the end of a school year, the beginning of a new year is never too far away! It is always better to be prepared. Next year I will be teaching a new group of ELLs and want them to start the year off with a memorable experience in a welcoming environment! Brand new, clean carpet squares will be amazing to use during whole-group and small-group instruction. Students can learn comfortably while sitting in the meeting area, instead of sitting on a cold tile floor. Having access to pencils and crayons will make students excited to practice writing in English and drawing pictures that match their writing. The pencil and crayon sharpeners are essential to making sure our new crayons and pencils can be used to their full potential. And of course, erasers are necessary because we learn from our mistakes every day!
