My Students

My ENL students are from an urban environment in the heart of Flushing, Queens. Most of my children are predominantly Asian and Spanish speaking immigrants. It is my responsiblity to facilitate and foster their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills through rigorous instruction.

We are a Title I school due to the low income and immigrant population.

This program gives children from all cultures, areas, and various incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive within the district. My energetic English Language Learners enter the classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore.

They gleefully read books, respond through writing and drawing pictures. My English Language Leaners build upon their listening and speaking English language skills. They are so excited to entire the doorway of my classroom as they proudly read various genres, respond to literature, write and express themselves in a safe and non judgemental safe haven. They love to learn!

My biggest challenge is to teach to my fullest ability when I do not have sufficient supplies due to the lack of funds and income of my families. Please find it in your heart to make a donation to my classroom.

My Project

Planning and implementing differentiated and rigorous lessons to our English Language Learners has been a challenge who rely heavily on additional resources to support their learning. I heavily rely on an reading and writing online program where I have to print the literature and lessons. Without the necessary materials, I cannot be an effective teacher.

The cost of ink and necessary classroom supplies is a lot for teachers to cover with the small amount of funding that we receive.

This will limit the resources we can provide for our students and force us to minimize the amount of material we can differentiate. This will be especially detrimental to our English Language Learners who rely heavily on additional resources to support their learning.

In addition to the necessary supplies, having a carpet will allow my students to have a gathering area for each implemented lesson. A carpet will serve as an inviting gathering are for the students. It will foster necessary student partnerships, turn and talk and whole class discussions.
