My Project

Please help me give to my students and improve my small group instruction by funding this project! My students are a wonderful group of 4th graders, many of whom come from various other countries and hardly speak any English. I am working on expanding their language, as well as learning the new English language. As you know, this may require a lot of small group and 1:1 instruction.

With new flexible seating options such as stackable stools, an office chair, and a bar stool, my students will be given extra time with me and will be more comfortable in their setting.

The headphones in my project will allow for students to listen to the language in English and practice new words and lessons related to what were learning in class. Your donation will help me work with my students in groups while I scaffold instruction as best as possible. Students love sitting on stools when it is time for small groups because they keep them focused. It’s almost like a reward. I hope to be able to take the small groups to a new level!
