My Students

My students are resilient, proud, and determined English language learners who have been in the country, at most, a year, thriving in the class with interactive, engaging activities which take them out of their comfort zone in a positive, but academic way. Every morning is a new adventure in their lives that builds their confidence to use English more among their native English-speaking peers.

They are my inspiring warriors!

Most of my students have no assistance at home with reinforcing the English language that they've learned in class, due to limited resources. The Eastbank of Louisiana is where our school is located. This area was recently impacted by hurricane Ida and now services families who live in all parts of the capital city, New Orleans. These families have come from far and wide to make a better life for their families in the United States. While also entrusting me to make their student(s) transition into mainstream learning, smooth and productive.

My students are perseverant through the varied learning styles of their peers and provide their best efforts in keeping up with the assignments thrown their way. I admire their tenacity each day.

My Project

Providing students with a choice of snacks and food throughout the day is essential with their focus in class. Nowadays the need for small bites during class has been heightened in today's predicament outside of the classroom.

By contributing to this project, you can help provide a buffet of great learner favorites in snacks to provide them with more attention on the content being taught and not their growling stomachs.

Having these snacks available, allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them to not be distracted in class. During independent work times, I want to provide an opportunity for them to choose a snack that they like to enjoy while also pushing their academic minds to grow.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
