My Project

My students are hardworking, curious, and eager to improve their English. I love seeing their confidence grow as they learn new words, build sentences, and express themselves.

A printer, laminator, and laminating pouches will help me create engaging, hands-on ESL materials such as vocabulary cards, games, reading materials, and visual supports.

These resources will give my students more opportunities to practice speaking, reading, writing, and understanding English.

By laminating the materials, I can make them durable and reusable for many lessons. This project will help me create a classroom where learning is interactive, supportive, and fun while giving my students the tools they need to succeed.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
