Help me give my students the gift of communication skills as well as the capability to build curiosity and understanding of the world around them.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barkley's classroom raised $165
This project is fully funded
My Project
This bundle is for a group of curious ELL students who need a more vibrant book selection in order to build upon themes to build vocabulary in regard to Science topics. The Science books will allow them to engage with a topic of interest while building upon English language comprehension and communication as well as applying the skills we have been working on. The engaging themes of the Science books will motivate students to read, write, listen, and speak English. They will allow them to explore new vocabulary. The conversation starters will be used in order to build communication skills for students who need help with conversational English speaking and confidence building.
In order to motivate my students, I would love to be able to provide the engaging conversation starters and science themed books.
I will apply previously learned reading and writing skills to build comprehension of science topics.
