Building Bridges To Close The Gap!
Funded Oct 29, 2013
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.... with your help the students made tremendous gains from the time they started using the materials until the actual state assessment exam. It allowed them to learn in a fun way. Using the extra skills practice items that was donated gave them an experience that they will be able to carry with them throughout their educational journey. The books that were used in the listening center gave them additional practice on reading using fluency and it helped them to build their own fluency as well as their flow and rhythm when reading. It also helped to develop their love for reading. They are now better readers and critical thinkers and it's all because of you guys. Thanks again.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Stewart
This classroom project was brought to life by South Florida Kia Retailers and one other donor.

Somewhere along the way, there was a hole and the hole seems to keep getting bigger. The hole is the gap that my students have when it comes to making the connection with comprehension. My students are mixed in race in which some are Vietnamese, Haitian-Creole, Cuban, and American. Most of them, their first language is not English and they are struggling with the transition of moving to a foreign place and learning a new language. Several of the parents have either been migrant workers or have experienced certain hardships (financially) and have been moving from place to place. My school is a Title I school where over 90% of them receive free or reduced lunches. The area is one where the parents are trying so hard to meet the basic needs of their kids (working and providing shelter and food) that they seldom have the time to work with them on their homework or even ask, "How was your day?" When the children come home from school, the older siblings are usually in charge.
