My students need a classroom that is well-stocked with snacks, sight word posters, and flashcards to enable everyday learning activities completed with a smile.

My Students
Would you ask a surgeon to bring their own knives and forceps to the operating room? A teacher's classroom needs its own tools and supplies before it "operates" on the minds of students, too.
My ELL (English Language Learner) students are energetic young pre-teens who come from a range of immigrant experiences and cultural backgrounds.
I have students who are resilient in their uphill journey to learn English, and many others who get overwhelmed by the task and the general trials of being an adolescent. I have parents who actively and effectively keep their child on track to grow their English and academic skills, and many others who work so much, they resort to the school to handle it all.
My Project
One particular student of mine is frequently disengaged, especially in the mornings. He shuffles into school late after no breakfast and groggy with lack of sleep. Being able to offer him a quick snack, like honey wheat pretzels, to help pick up his morning goes a long way in opening him up to learning for the rest of the day.
Many of my other students are lost at sea often being recently arrived, absolute beginners in English. Having sight word posters on display and visually rich early literacy flashcard sets are just some resources that can help me tremendously to bridge the enormous gap those students face entering middle school at their levels.
So often my students are overwhelmed playing catch-up with their peers because of their limited English proficiency.
This project provides essential classroom materials and supplies to fuel my ELLs forward on their difficult journey, and helps ensure as many tools as possible are at their disposal to achieve success.
More than half of students from low‑income households
