My students really need a classroom library as this is our first year starting up an ELL (English Language Learners) program and we want to provide enriching literature for all the various levels of our ELL students!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Poit's classroom raised $549
This project is fully funded
One of the subjects that I teach in my school is ELL (English Language Learners). My students range in ages and in language levels. Our school is a small charter school who tries desperately to accommodate all of our students. This is our first year spent in developing the ELL program.
We have invested most of our money in curriculum for our ELL program, but we have absolutely no beginner level books. Since we are a middle school, most of our books are upper level and therefore do not meet the needs of our students learning English for the first time.
In order to truly support the growth of these ELL students, we will need to create a library from scratch that contains books of all reading levels. This means getting books from the Pre-K level through the 5th grade level.
Your help will ensure that all of our ELL students are able to pick up a book and read! We would appreciate any support that you can give!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
