My Project

This year we will have multiple families/children that are ESL Please help provide opportunities and quality resources for my early ELL students to read books in their home language, and learn English language. The pocket translator device will help my ESL students and I conversate in real time, throughout the entire school day. It will also assist in parent/teacher conferences and communicating with the families efficiently! I want to accommodate each and every child with their learning needs and support academic success along with the sense of belonging. All of these items will help create inclusive learning and support literacy and diversity in our classroom!
