My Students

The students in my community are motivated to learn by innovation and critical thinking. They come from low socio-economic backgrounds and therefore have minimal resources and opportunities at home. The majority come from immigrant families. The classroom, the school, and the community are all places for them to explore and excel. With the nearby park/recreation center, involvement from the local police department, and several community led activities on the school campus, the students and their families are exposed to various windows of opportunity to flourish and thrive.

My Project

The students in my class mostly come from immigrant families. The resources I am requesting will address the needs of my ESL and ELL students by allowing them to learn a new language with fun games. Also, the supplies I have requested will allow for a smooth transition into a new environment. The supplies will allow the students to use visual cues, have access to hands-on art supplies to integrate the immigrant experience with everyday learning.

The students who will benefit from this project are refugees and immigrants from all over the world.

They are experiencing their first years in America and come to our school to learn English. They are seeking a better life and educational opportunities not accessible to them in their home countries...We will use the games box sets as the basis for a literature circle/book club.

The main objective of the book club will be to expose ESL learners to the caliber of literature they will encounter on their state examinations required to graduate from high school. These experiences will foster discussions on culture, immigration, and the universal desire for a better life.
