My students need Rosetta Stone to learn English, in order to understand what I am teaching.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Viera's classroom raised $370

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 wonderful students. They are so eager to learn. They adhere to classroom rules and generally stay on task. However, as we know, students today are under enormous pressure. The expectation set for students today is very high. Every year, students in my school are expected to reach the NYS goals for their grade regardless of the challenges that they face due to their circumstances. Many of my students have economic challenges and lack parental support. As a teacher, it is frustrating to know that many of our students are at a disadvantage, but must still meet their state standards and expectations. The reality is that not all students have writing material at home. I also have students with IEPs and English Language Learners. These students need to develop and catch up to their grade expectations and these materials can help develop their writing potential.
My Project
I have students moving to New York from different countries not knowing the English language. Even though they have their English Language teacher helping them everyday, it’s only for 30 minuets. The rest of the day they are sitting in my class wondering what I am saying. And for the most part, these students are Spanish speaking students and I have students that can translate the information. However, they have a hard time translating the academic language. I believe Rosetta Stone will help learn the English language and help them acclimate to their new environment with their English speaking peers.
