ELL Friendly Classroom Library
Funded Jul 22, 2023Thank you so much for contributing to the literacy development of our students. Our high school students are learning English as a new language and need as much support as they can get. These funds were used to buy books that teach phonics and how to identify sound patterns as they read.
Now during class we can read out loud together and use the images provided for contextual support. They learn new vocabulary words and review them through the repeating text patterns. They feel more confident as readers with texts available they can understand.
Some students brought books home to share with their families and practice out loud for homework. They can get through an entire book in one sitting which keeps them motivated.”
With gratitude,

Classroom Resources
Funded Apr 24, 2023My students love books at their level about people to whom they can relate. They need a selection of high interest novels to choose from and will be using them to write and present literary analysis. They will not only learn how to improve their reading skills and fluency but how to make good choices. Many of our students arrive with little or no English skills so they need books that engage them in order to learn. They will truly enjoy the books on this list and sharing them with their classmates.”

Keyboards for Writing Class
Funded Mar 12, 2020Due to your kindness we now have keyboards for high school students that need to develop typing skills. Your donation will leave a lasting impact on their lives. My students are very grateful to have the technology they need to be competitive and develop their voice as active writers in the community.”
