My Project

With these classroom materials, our newcomer ELL (English Language Learners) will have access to basic school materials that make learning the new language less stressful.

With these materials such as pens, pencils, sticky notes, highlighters, etc., students will be able to complete vital classwork, participate in activities with their peers, and better their English language acquisition.

My ELL students are deserving of materials that help them be successful students. With your help and donation, my students will be able to work on projects that meet state standards and goals and better themselves as members of our school community.

Ms. Petersen
Grades 6-8
