  • Speakers for Our Movement Science Classroom to Raise Some Noise!

    Funded Dec 31, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generosity. These speakers will be put to great use in our movement science classes. They will add music and sound to our classes, adding another dimension to the classes. Our students, PreK to Grade 5 will definitely enjoy the new dimension to the learning time.

    We will make sure that they know that community partners have helped to make their learning space even more joyful and engaging. We want them to know that this would not be possible without generous people like you. We thank you so much for all that you do for our kids.”

  • My Students Need the Equipment to Play and Exercise!

    Funded Oct 21, 2021

    Every day at lunch, there is a line outside my door of students, waiting to get the equipment you so generously sponsored. My only wish is that I had ordered more balls! I have had to assign a rotation to the students to make it fair so that every student gets a day to get a turn. Now, everyone is outside playing and getting exercise, instead of just hanging around, not moving. This is great to see. Thank you so much for getting our kids moving!

    The 8th graders really needed something to do during recess, not just hang around on their phones and get more screen time. These balls and games really helped that. Now, our students are coming in from outside time with rosy cheeks from all the activity. It is great to see.

    Thank you for helping us make our students a little healthier!”

  • Games and Activities to Actively Engage my Learners!

    Funded Nov 2, 2021

    Your games and activities have greatly helped me engage my students. Thank you so much for your donations. My students really love playing with all their new "presents". I have explained to them that we got these new tools because of generous donors, like you and they are so thankful.

    Their eyes lit up when I first wheeled all the games and boxes into the room. Each of them could not wait for their turn to play and explore each new activity. To watch them engage with the activities warms my heart. I cannot put into words my gratitude.

    These games and activities have already gotten so much use.I can only imagine the use they will get in the upcoming cold winter months. Again, thank you so very much for your generous support of my classroom and students.”

My students are Grade 5 through 8 English Language Learners. Most are Hispanic, many from Puerto Rico. All are at various stages of language development. Each of them learn at their own pace. It is my job, as their teacher, to help them listen, speak, read and write in English. All the while, they are attending Math, Science and Social Studies classes taught in English. I try to support their learning in their content classes. These boys and girls work hard every day to learn new material and a new language at the same time. My classroom is the place where they can be comfortable trying out their new skills and figuring out their new language.
