My Students

How did you learn how to read? The question is simple, yet answers a varied for individuals. Our ELL students are just beginning their baby steps towards language acquisition!Be one of the first to help build the foundation.

Our English Language Learners in this special education classroom are just starting out!

They are kinesthetic, tactile, and auditory learners. We are in a brand new school with just the bare minimums. The students need all the literacy exposure they could receive.

My Project

Kindergarten has become more and more academic as the years have passed. In our community of English Language Learners, students lack English in the home environment. My students need magnetic letters, listening book set, audio cards, and a listen and learn letter sound activity kit. These few items will be helping our students combine academics along with play to increase learning. Through these materials, students will be learning alphabet sounds, spelling, movement, and vocabulary.

Our school has very limited funds starting out.

By providing students these materials, they may have the chance to bring home their learning. The "home" and country we hope they will be proud to serve in the future. These materials will help add to our empty classroom but full learning community! Thanks a billion!
