Keepin' Up In The ENL Class

Please help me provide my students with the necessary supplies to replenish our class for English Language Learners (ELL) students.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $457

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 Project

As students come from diverse backgrounds that require ELL services, there is a need for additional support and materials. In my school, students come from Hispanic or French backgrounds, where English isn't their first language. Furthermore, students are focused on learning in the best way possible.

In this project, items such as pens, pencils, correction pens, and planners are necessary to have in the classroom so that students can engage in the work.

In addition, the dictionaries, whiteboard, and whiteboard markers will allow students to practice and review their work as they do it out loud. Furthermore, students will be able to showcase their work, allowing their teachers to assess them based on their growth.

My students are soaring stars, and they are motivated to learn every day.
