I'm thrilled to share that I'll be transitioning to the role of an English Language Development (formerly ESOL) teacher. I'll be working with K-2 students, including some of my former prekindergarten students, who I know to be incredibly bright and capable. It's my priority to create a classroom environment tailored to their needs, equipped with resources that facilitate their language development.
To support my students effectively, I'm seeking essential basic learning materials and decor to craft a welcoming space conducive to their growth.
Your assistance in acquiring these resources would not only benefit my students' linguistic journey but also foster a sense of belonging and comfort in our learning environment. Thank you for considering my request as I embark on this exciting new chapter in my teaching career.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
