My Students

A combination of language and content is needed by my 33 ESL students to help them be successful when they return to their classrooms.

I teach 33 Kindergarten-5th grade ESL students of varying English proficiency levels.

They represent eight countries and six languages. Our school is a Title I school, with 16 countries represented in the student population. My students are wonderful--they are hard workers, have unique abilities, and all want to do their best!

My Project

I am requesting a set of literature books that cross into the content areas of science, social studies, and math. Reading stories gives a unique experience that ties the reader to the subject. By reading stories connected to topics such as matter, historical figures, and estimation, I hope to give my students a different perspective on the subject and to build their background knowledge so that they can better relate and understand when they return to their classrooms.

This project will allow me to teach important concepts in class through integration of literature and language to give my students a broader understanding of the subject.

When they return to their classrooms, I want them to feel that they can participate and offer their own ideas to the discussion and feel confident in doing so. Reading these books will help my students build background knowledge and key vocabulary. This set of books will impact students this year and beyond!
