My Project

The school year has just begun, and we have ICT/ENL 4th graders who have entered our classroom for the first time, ready for an exciting year of learning. Our classroom is filled with highly diverse learners. 40% of our learners receive special education services, and the remainder of our class are ENL students Who also receive language services as well.

Our ICT/ENL classroom aims to create a comfortable classroom environment along with a well-organized and colorful atmosphere.

The fun chairs are a great way to get the students motivated to learn in a comfortable seat. We’d also benefit from having Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards so we are able to buy needed resources for our diverse students. Lastly, color ink is super essential to make our classroom colorful and vibrant for our learners. We would love for our students to feel they are in a safe space and have what they need to feel comfortable to express themselves. All of our students deserve nothing but the best!
