  • We Need a Little Help Here!

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Our class wants to thank you so much for your generosity in helping to provide some much needed items for our classroom success. Our students are bilingual and that presents a whole set of challenges for them. Many are just learning English, while others are more proficient. However, my goal is that they be equally prepared academically in both languages.

    Technology in a classroom setting, is a huge part of our learning in 2023. The new headphones with microphones have enabled the students to incorporate speech- to- text, in order to aid them in their English writing. They are equally able to practice listening to stories in English and write the answers. Many are more proficient in speaking than in writing.

    The noise cancelling headphones allow the students that are not on the microphones to be able to concentrate on what they are doing on their own. We often have multiple activities going on at the same time.

    The students have also enjoyed thoroughly the books that were donated. They have been exchanged amongst the class many times over. They love them! We are so appreciative of everything!!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Castaneda
