My students are constantly asking me for books to read in English. They always want opportunities to continue learning, but unfortunately I am often unable to provide. As a first year teacher at a Title 1 school, interesting and exciting books are difficult to come by. The students want to extend their education beyond the classroom. We spend a lot of time in class creating tactile organizers and flip-books, working with manipulatives, creating hand motions and dance moves for vocabulary, and working in groups to find correct grammar in persuasive essays or correct each other's English in presentations. All of this is in an effort to grow in their language acquisition. As they grow, the only thing keeping the bar out of reach for them is resources. With the items I've selected, I would see them grow ten-fold. They could choose from a variety of books to take home to help supplement their language acquisition. They would be amazed to have a speaker they can take with them to various parts of the room and school to be able to listen to interactive videos and hear themselves as they self-correct. They would jump at the chance to have more effective anchor charts around the room. I know they would be thrilled to get their own personal folder they could use to transport work back and forth from class to home. Throughout the year my students have started to create for themselves goals beyond what was even possible in their home countries. As their vision of themselves grows, so does their bar, and a lack of materials should never be what stops them from redefining it.
