English Language Learners to play with baby goats!

My Students

My students are English Language Learners whose families moved from Somalia, Kenya, Djibouti, Angola, Ethiopia, and South Africa. Their families came to America as refugees or asylum seekers. Some are second generation, having been born in Lewiston, Maine.

Their families left Africa with little to no English --with dreams of safety, freedom, and a better life.

Although most of them now live in crowded apartments below the poverty line, they come to school each day with positive attitudes, eager to learn and succeed. Our earnest and sweet students work diligently to improve their English language skills while also learning grade level content. Their families value and appreciate the educational experiences that their children are getting here in America.

My Project

My students live in crowded apartments in Lewiston, Maine, and they have had few, if any, opportunities to witness life in the country.

On this field trip, students will spend a spring morning at Sunflower Farm in Cumberland, Maine -- learning about goats, cheese making, and life on a farm; best of all, students will play and snuggle with newborn baby goats!

We will enjoy a picnic lunch, do some fun farm chores, play games, and/or do some yoga among the goats in the fields. By donating to this project, you will help students take part in a different kind of learning outside of their classrooms and home lives. It will be a day to remember and a wonderful escape from life in the city.
