My Students

With our teaching materials located inside a closed school, please support our teachers by getting additional teaching resources in their hands!

Our amazing students, teachers and families are doing the best they can do to navigate this new style of teaching and learning.

After many weeks of identifying need for technology and donations from Amazon, most of our students now have virtual capabilities in their home. Now students have access to technology, we will start planning for virtual experiences.

My Project

With our teaching materials located inside a closed school, please support our teachers by getting additional teaching resources in their hands!

Our amazing ELL teachers love to collaborate with our first grade teachers.

One way they do this is by pre-reading the books for the whole class lessons to give our ELL students extra support with vocabulary and language.

This project is asking for read alouds that support the third grade reading curriculum for the ELL teachers to use to read to ELL students virtually during the school closure. Next year and for years to come, the ELL teachers will continue to use the books whether it is in-person or virtually to support all of our students with comprehension and access to learning.
