My Project

The materials requested will allow my EL students in grades K-5 to work in a classroom that is well-equipped with materials to enable them to become proficient in the English language. The students are coming to a classroom separate from their homeroom for specific English language instruction. The materials requested are essential to ensuring that the students' time in the EL classroom will be productive and effective.

The students will be prepared to learn, work, and be productive in their EL classroom.

With the use of the materials available to the students in EL class they will be able to apply strategies they are learning in their homeroom classes and use them in their projects, presentations, and activities. Items such as a rolling cart and book/binder holder will help the students stay organized and keep a structured environment to work in. The students time in EL class is limited each day. It is essential that they use their time efficiently and in a productive manner.

The EL students at my school are some of the hardest working and most caring children. They are working hard to become proficient in a language that is different from what they hear at home. With the requested supplies and materials it will make it easier to provide what is needed for the students to be successful in the classroom.
