My Students

Tigrinya, Kunama, Nepali, Arabic, Spanish, Krahn... these are just a few of the first languages spoken by the students in my school. Some of them have been in this country for only a few months, and some of them were born here. What they all have in common is a passion for learning and a beautiful curiosity.

With backgrounds ranging from a childhood in a refugee camp, to parents who immigrated in hopes of a better life for their children, each student is unique in their experiences and what they need to learn.

My Project

Your donation will help make stories come alive for students who are still discovering the world of literature. My students will be able to use the storytelling kits to physically manipulate the characters in the story in order to aid them in retelling some of their favorite read aloud stories. Using images of real things and people helps give them visual cues to use the new vocabulary they have learned and keeps them engaged. The language quickies will allow students to have short intense bursts of practice with a variety of skills that are vital to their reading growth! These will include phonics, comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and vital language skills.
