My Project

My students are considered ESOL, ELD, and English III. My students often have challenges that require specialty book selections and special projects as well as other special needs and require an adapted method of learning. My students are learning to read, write, and speak English at the same time as learning their grade curriculum for ELA. I have found that providing students with a wide selection of reading materials encourages students to be more participatory in our class discussions.

They say that a great moment in teaching students to read is when they read without an assignment or a promised grade.

My students would very much enjoy an opportunity to support their CTE Culinary efforts with new cookbooks to read. With these supplies, I believe their knowledge about culinary arts will be increased with access to these new cookbooks.

With your generosity, our classroom has the opportunity to learn at the highest academic level and my students will avail themselves of all the materials you provided vigorously. I look forward to seeing students reading cookbooks of their own choosing!
