Hello everyone! My name is Ms. DaCosta, and I've been teaching for 22 years at P.S. 86 in the Bronx, New York. I have the pleasure of teaching a wonderful group of English Language Learners. My students come from many ethnic backgrounds, but they have one thing in common. They all understand and appreciate the many opportunities that life in the USA has available to them. They truly value their education. My students are extremely eager to learn and master the English language, along with math, ELA, science and social studies. I am hoping that Donors Choose will enable me to enrich the learning experiences of these wonderful children.
