My Students

I am an ESOL teacher located at two different schools. My students come from nine different countries and bring many different experiences and cultures into my classroom. Their ages range from PreK - 8th grade and are at all different levels of English language development. They are full of passion and excitement to learn!

I strive to make my classroom a welcoming environment with an exciting curriculum for my students.

There are few English language learners at my schools, which can often make them feel like they are not included and act as a barrier to assimilating into their communities. I try to create an inclusive and open environment in my classroom to support these students and motivate them to work hard at acquiring essential English language skills.

My Project

At AES we currently have gardening planter boxes, but no garden. We would like to have the tools necessary to cultivate and grow a small garden to use for learning about plants, healthy foods, and to serve a beautiful space to add even more color to our elementary school.

Having real-world opportunities for students to engage in learning is essential to their growth as students and as citizens in our community.

By giving our students another opportunity to engage in nature and to have results come from their efforts of planting the garden, they can learn more about themselves in addition to the processes of growing a community garden.

Gardening tools such as gloves, shovels, rakes, a tool shed, soil, and seeds will make a big difference in our project. Thank you for your time and support!
