My Project

The wonderful students, who walk through my doors, come from all walks of life. These brave young souls have journeyed from other countries and have found the way to my ESL classroom door. It is a privilege and a great responsibility to help my students. I am proud of each and every one of them. As part of my efforts, it is my job to help get these students equipped with resources that will help them learn the language and adapt quickly. I do not have any dictionaries to help translate, since we have been using Google Translator on the school computers. With the PSSA's coming up, one accommodation allowed is that these students may use translator dictionaries but no electronics. So we are in need of these. We are also in need of Russian Keyboard Stickers, which will help with learning the English language and this will definitely make typing much easier. It is my hope that you will help me deliver these valuable resources to all my ESL students with these dictionaries, stickers and decorations to make these children feel at home.
