We are a Title I, brand new French dual language elementary school, the first of its kind in Texas! Our students speak English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Arabic, Farsi, and several African national languages.
As a brand new school, we still are lacking in several essential items.
Most of our English-Language Learners must be exited from the program by 3rd grade, so there are significant delays in their literacy development. We will always have a challenge providing for all of the students' needs as we are slowly acquiring resources that take years to establish.
This school year, with many students coming from Hurricane Harvey-damaged homes or transferring from damaged schools, we have higher needs than usual. We have exceeded our typical classroom size to accommodate all the students who can't attend their local schools. Next year, we anticipate many of these same students to return, as our school has grown on them and their families!
My Project
Soccer is such an appealing international sport. Our students from many different countries all play their hearts our during our 30 minute recess time. Using cones for goals hasn't really worked out for them, since their is no net to catch the ball and there can be disputes if cones get knocked over during a goal.
With proper soccer goals, our students would have more fun and be safer.
Right now they are using a fence and cones for a soccer goal. This is not on our grass field which is where their play would be safer. We would set up an established place to play soccer on the field using these soccer goals.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
