Inspire My Students To Take Action In Our Multilingual Community!
My students need books about community in Spanish and journals, folders, book bags, and clipboards to take notes and organize their group projects about our community and how they can make a difference in it!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carly's classroom raised $1,034
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 students are AMAZING 2nd grade bilingual learners ready to take on the world! Most of them are English Language Learners and their families come from countries around the world, living the American Dream. The rest of the students are native English speakers learning Spanish, becoming empowered and compassionate citizens by living and learning in another language, culture, and perspective.
Many of my students struggle with issues of poverty and access to academic experiences.
Fortunately, bilingual education is one of the best ways to close the achievement gap and to break down barriers of racism and socioeconomics! Actually, if a student is allowed to learn in their native language, they acquire English at a better and faster rate than those who do not. And they also have bilingual skills to share with the world and to learn about other cultures and perspectives!
Unfortunately, I do not have sufficient materials in Spanish to help support their learning...this is why I need your help! Any donations will directly affect over 50 students as I teach 2 classrooms of students a day (they rotate with an English teacher). I will also use them for years and years to come!
My Project
Help get 2nd graders interested in how a community works and how they can become productive members in our local and global community! We will also be learning Spanish as we read these wonderful and engaging books about communities near and far. At the same time I will also use our classroom as an example of a mini community as they use the clipboards and folders to work as a team to investigate and make changes in our own community. They will use the take home book bags to borrow these books to take home to share with their families, who are mostly Spanish speakers. The notebooks they will use to take notes and make maps about what they observe in their community and what needs to be improved. They will feel very important with their fancy folders, clipboards, and book bags, thus more likely they will use them and realize that they too have interesting ideas and input to share. We will write letters to community members and learn about our own community and different communities in our state. Finally, we will compare those to different communities around the world and write letters to students in those communities. We can connect with the world and realize our power to change it! Please help us learn about ourselves and how we are apart of a global community!
More than half of students from low‑income households
