I have 30 students in my classroom. All 30 students are English Second Language learners. Many of the students do not speak English at all. There are currently 11 different languages in my classroom. The diversity in the classroom makes everyone unique, but it can also be difficult for me as the teacher, since I am usually the only adult in the room for most of the day. Most of my students are also coming from refugee camps, and all of my students are living below poverty. I provide most of the materials in my classroom from my own pocket. I am requesting basic school supplies for my students such as soap, markers, glue sticks, paper, and other art materials. Thank you for your help!
