My Students
Imagine moving to a new country. You walk into a classroom full of new faces, immersed in a language you have never spoken.You have a happy, smiling teacher talking to you in a language you don't understand. These are the students I teach and work with every day.
I work in a school where English Language Learners are more than half of the student population.
My students come into school every day as not only a place to learn, but a place to eat, be surrounded with friends, and more importantly, feel safe.
My school is also a Title I school in central Maine, where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast, lunch, and snack. We help students learn English while holding on to their own language as well. My students have come from different countries in Africa, from many different and difficult situations. They are in need of the tools to make them successful in the classroom, and this all begins with a determined teacher and a vast amount of literacy rich resources.
My Project
Your generous donation to the project will improve my ESL students by building stronger readers and writers. My students need books appropriate for their reading level. Often times, there are not enough literacy materials and books for emergent readers and newcomer students. By donating to the project, I will be supplementing materials for my ESL students and develop a stronger child in the areas of reading, writing, speaking and listening. I will be able to form book boxes for all students with materials they are interested in since I will have a wide variety of books at their levels.
