My Students

My class is full of brilliant 6 year-olds ready to take on the world. They come in with little knowledge and will come out reading in two languages. My first graders are in a Dual Language Spanish/English Program.

Approximately 50% of my students come from native Spanish speaking homes, while the other 50% are from native English speaking homes.

Every day, 90% of the instruction is in Spanish. As we strive to learn the target language, we also introduce English into our day. We follow all the standards for the Common Core State Standards, but they learn primarily in Spanish in first grade. About half of my class receives free or reduced-price lunch and could use extra help in all areas.

My Project

I am requesting help getting much-needed supplies for families to work on reading and writing. These families can help their child with distance learning tasks for our first-grade class using a whiteboard and markers. Another thing they can do is work on reading and forming words with their very own learning resource notebook. I will print resources for them to use during guided reading lessons focusing on sight words, sentence fluency and checks for understanding.

These distance learning supplies can give these families new opportunities to grow and learn.

You can help make a difference in the life of these specific children. When funded, these supplies will be given directly to the students where the learning can begin immediately! Thank you for partnering with us.
