My Students

Our school has just over 450 students in our building from pre-k to fifth grade. We are located in a primarily low-income, rural area of our state, with around eighty-five percent of our students riding a bus to school on the long, backcountry roads. We also have a high percentage of students on our free or reduced-price lunch program.

Hands-on learning as well as relating what we are teaching to real-life experiences is key.

I want students to be exposed to new things every day! I want them to love learning and find a true passion for reading outside the classroom. I teach an average of 68 students this year who are very eager to learn. I try to bring my history and science classes to life! They love it when our boxes arrive from DonorsChoose.org and seeing our new things for the class!

My Project

We have a new student who came to us speaking no English. We would love to have a WT2 Plus translator in order to be able to better communicate with both our student and their parents. Having this translator would help us understand what our student is trying to say to us, as well as help them understand what we are saying to them.

Imagine being dropped in a brand new environment, not able to understand anything going on.

This is how our student feels and we would like to help them adapt better. Having two of these translators would help benefit us during conferences. Both the parent and student could have a translator and understand what we are each saying.
