My Project

I am asking for books that will greatly benefit the beginning weeks and months that I work with both newcomer ELLs and those that are of entering/emerging proficiency levels. Of course all students will be able to read and benefit from the books as well. I am also asking for a color printer because I have noticed that English language learning students are able to learn and use new vocabularies terms when they see the words in color along with colorful pictures. With the printer I am using now I usually go through colored ink cartridges in about 2 weeks. This printer will allow me to fill up the specific colors needed. Seeing the vocabulary allows them to say the new term and use it in both writing and conversation.

All the items listed are greatly needed.

My students, as well as I would be extremely thankful for your donation. Have a wonderful day!
