My Project

Learning English is said to be the most difficult language to learn. Imagine moving to a country where you do not speak nor comprehend the language. The barrier is a real struggle for some of our students whose first language isn’t native to America.

Paper, folders, and pencils are the furthest from the mind when the language barrier is a steadfast reminder of being in an unfamiliar country.

These supplies aid in relieving another barrier for these students as well as assist with creating a safe place to learn.

The folders will allow students to store his/her documents in ONE place while the computer mice will allow ease with using a computer. Additionally, specific folder colors can represent different components of reading and writing.

Our school is a Title One School, meaning a vast majority live in poverty and cannot afford fundamental human needs. Please help my students with your kind donation! We appreciate any supplies.

Ms. Martinez
Grades 6-8
