FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tabolt Da Silva's classroom raised $253
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My ELL tenth grade students are all recent immigrants who are learning English as their second, third or fourth language.
My students are amazing recent immigrants who work part-time, take care of family members, play sports and attend our after-school programs.
In total, my students speak more than 7 different languages, including Portuguese, Spanish, French, Somali and Haitian Creole.
In my ESL classroom, I teach reading through literacy interventions with a Wilson Language push-in teacher, independent reading and whole class texts. One of the biggest challenges is finding books that are engaging and age appropriate for my teen students who are still learning to read in English.
My Project
These books will be an important addition to our classroom library. My immigrant students are learning a new language in a new country, but they are still teenagers. This collection of books teaches my students about different careers and helps students plan careers.
My students are motivated and growing readers, but they need more books that relate to their lives as adolescents making sense of their world and relationships.
Students are constantly asking me about which career they should do, and I want to give them the tools to figure out what is available and their life goals. I can also use these career planning books to guide them about their interests.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
