English Language Learners Raise the Bar to Success!
My students need the radio as a tool to listen to stories with CD to learn the English language. The phonics materials and folders will reinforce their understanding and keep their work organized.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. E. Vargas's classroom raised $383
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are very special kids and the majority come from the Dominican Republic. They come from many different and often difficult situations. They hold the American Dream, but need the tools of becoming literate to be successful in the upcoming years. Many of my students have very limited schooling in their own language and are now thrust into a formal school setting. We move from learning letters to reading very quickly. I help students learn English while holding on and becoming literate in their own language as well. These students are eager to learn and want to become part of a society where they are accepted and productive.
My Project
English Language Learners are full of knowledge in their native language and come to us eager to learn the English language. The radio, folders, and phonics materials are great tools for students to use their listening, speaking and writing skills to learn the new language.
The phonics materials are a tool that will be used to to reinforce their academic language and as they start writing, their folders will be capture their drafts and final writing pieces.
These materials will let students know they are capable of learning a new language and help them learn to be independent readers and writers.
Nearly all 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
