  • Books and More!

    Funded Sep 14, 2022

    Thank you so much for your generous donation which allowed me to purchase textbooks for my classroom. My students have been able to have access to the textbooks in the classroom which has allowed them to learn more about vocabulary, grammar and culture as it relates to French-speaking countries. They also use the textbooks to enhance their learning in other aspects as well, like activities to practice all of the different concepts, a glossary with both French-English and English-French translations and examples and realia, like song lyrics, poetry and other photographs within the pages. None of this would have been possible without your help!”

  • It's Hard to Learn on an Empty Stomach

    Funded Dec 18, 2021

    Students have really enjoyed the snacks that you helped to provide for them. They come in to my class whenever they're hungry, whether they didn't have breakfast, didn't like the school lunch or just need a little pick me up because their lunch was early or late in the day. This project has allowed me to reach not only my own French students but so many other students throughout the school. Once word got out that I wasn't turning anyone away (which I've been able to do thanks to your generosity) I've met students from all over the school. The best part is that it's not junk food that I'm providing so the kids are getting a little extra sustenance throughout their school day, which they may not have had otherwise.

    This project has really meant so much to the students and to me, to be able to provide it for them. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

With these headphones, students will be able to listen individually to dialog, music and other realia in the target language (French) at their own pace. They will also be able to record themselves speaking without interference from classmates speaking simultaneously. There truly is no substitute for learning by doing, particularly in language learning, as students will be able to compare their own recordings to exemplars and see their own progress with speaking and listening over time. This will provide valuable data for growth in our schoo, as we work to exit our current “turnaround” status. We are grateful for any help you can offer!
