My Project

As an Arabic teacher at a Title 1 school, we have previously conducted Arabic classes on a cart. However, now that the school has allocated an empty space, I am thrilled to announce that we will finally have a dedicated classroom for our students to learn the Arabic language both in writing and speaking. Many of our students come from diverse backgrounds, including families of refugees and immigrants.

I am excited to embark on this new journey in a fully stocked classroom equipped with engaging books and essential supplies like crayons, providing a hands-on approach to learning.

Witnessing my students' eagerness and joy as they discover new concepts brings me immense satisfaction. With this transition to our own classroom, I anticipate fostering a safer and more conducive learning environment compared to the previous arrangement of visiting students in their homerooms.
