Demonstrating Our Learning in Creative Ways!

My students need easel pads, colored pencils, and markers to help them create learning posters, charts, and creative ways to demo their learning. They need clothespins to hang their work in the hall or on our classroom wire, and baggies to stay organized.

My Students

English-language learners are not only the fastest-growing segment of the school-age population in the United States, but they are also a tremendously diverse group representing numerous languages, cultures, ethnicities, nationalities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. While most English-language learners were born in the United States, their parents and grandparents are often immigrants who speak their native language at home. In addition, English-language learners may face a variety of challenges that could adversely affect their learning progress and academic achievement, such as poverty, familial transiency, or non-citizenship status, to name just a few.

The students in my ELD groups are caring, sensitive, and very eager to learn.

They love to read and pick out books from the Spanish/English classroom library, discovering new information, creating projects related to their learning, and just being themselves. They are comfortable in the ELD classroom and groups because they are free to use their native language to help them engage, discuss, and understand the academic English needed to succeed in school.

I have several students asking me for colored pencils, crayons, and supplies in order to show their understanding in more ways than just reading and writing. Creation is a modality that allows them to show their learning!

My Project

My groups are made up of English Language Learners and using English to demonstrate their learning and understanding of concepts can create a barrier for them. Being able to give students the opportunity to express their ideas and learning through group posters, pictures, diagrams, charts, and demonstrations is so important. They love to see their work hanging up in the hallways or on the wire in my classroom.

The students in my groups are highly motivated, love to learn, and want to show their learning in multiple ways!

Even when their language causes a slight barrier, they love to share what they understand using other modalities of learning. The supplies I am asking for will help students create t-charts to show cause and effect; Venn diagrams to compare and contrast; sentence patterning chart to show how they put English sentences together correctly using adjectives, nouns, verbs, prepositions, and more. The chart markers help to indicate the different parts of sentences with color so they can show how the parts work together, allow students to visually demonstrate the different sides of Venn diagrams, and to help distinguish between two stories, characters, or parts of speech. The clothespins are used to hang the students' charts and diagrams in the classroom on our class wire or out in the hallway to display their work. The card-stock makes the projects and charts more sturdy and helps them last longer. It is also used to help students create projects or colored folders to keep their work in. The sandwich baggies help us keep our vocabulary words, sentences, chart pieces, and more organized and safe.

Thank you for your support!
