My Project

Every day, I witness the remarkable determination and enthusiasm of my English Language Learner students as they navigate their academic journey. However, many face challenges due to a lack of basic supplies. That's why I'm reaching out for support in providing essential classroom materials like pencils, chart markers, dry erase markers, and chart paper.

These supplies are more than just tools; they are the building blocks of interactive learning experiences.

For ELLs, who often rely on visual aids and hands-on activities to grasp new concepts, having access to these resources is paramount. Pencils ensure they can actively participate in lessons, while chart markers, dry erase markers, and chart paper empower them to express themselves creatively, collaborate with peers, and visually represent their ideas in English, aiding language acquisition and comprehension.

Your support will not only supply these essential materials but also send a powerful message of encouragement to our ELLs, demonstrating that their education is valued and supported. Together, we can provide them with the tools they need to thrive academically and unlock their full potential as confident, engaged learners. Thank you for considering this project and for your dedication to empowering our students.
