Let's Learn English!

My students need a variety of manipulatives, games, and activities for learning words in their new language...English!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

Many ESL students come without previous knowledge of our alphabet! I teach K-5 English as a Second Language in three high-poverty schools. My students come from many backgrounds speaking Spanish, Russian, Burmese, Amharic, Tagalog, German, and other languages. Many have a parent who comes to serve in our military.

When a new student arrives not even knowing the alphabet, imagine how far behind their peers they are! My curriculum lacks the hands-on manipulatives and activities that these children need. Because of the recent downturn in our economy and the resulting loss of jobs and income, the families I serve are becoming increasingly dependent upon the school for help in meeting the basic needs of their children.

With a variety of learning tools, my students will learn letter-sound correspondence, build vocabulary skills, and begin the exciting journey of learning a new language! This project includes learning about the world of WH? Questions, word families, sight word manipulatives, Eric Carle games to accompany his award-winning books, and Grammar games.

Your help will ensure that no matter what age a student is when he/she moves to our country, I will have powerful tools to help them master our alphabet, learn our difficult English language, and engage them in learning for a lifetime!
