Help Me Learn English!!

Help me give my students access to new bilingual dictionaries and other vital supplies needed in a high school ESL classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Midura's classroom raised $316

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students live in a highly diverse city where the population of students who speak English as a second language is over 50%. Therefore, we are constantly utilizing our supplies, but now they are falling apart. Please help my students receive fresh new dictionaries and other vital supplies that will increase their motivation to utilize them. Additionally a new book to add to our library and notebooks. My students are always so grateful when I hand them their own notebook at the start of the school year. The other supplies like tissues and fidgets are essentials that students need in a classroom, but aren’t funded by the school. It can be hard to concentrate in a regular high school class, but I have my students for 104 minutes a day making it difficult to stay focused. The fidgets help my students stay engaged. My students are hard working in and out of school and deserve the supplies and materials they might not have access to outside of school.

Please support my culturally diverse classroom!
