My Project

I work with a wonderful group of multilingual learners by collaborating with classroom teachers and supporting students in their classrooms. I also pull out small groups to teach specific skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

My students come to school a little nervous, but they are ready to learn and have another great school year.

I would like to welcome them to another school year with a few motivational items. They love little notebooks so I know they will like the small notebook and pen set. Each set has a special saying that lets them know that they are awesome. They also like keychains to hook to their backpacks, so a motivational keychain will be great to add to their collection.

Your donation will help welcome and motivate my students to another great year.
