My Students

All of my students are English language learners. They are a very diverse group, from all over the world. All students in my classroom have had different exposure to schooling and education. Some students have never been in a real classroom before, others went to private schools in their mother country. Some are learning how to read and write for the first time, while others are working on perfecting their grammar and vocabulary in English.

We not only focus on learning English, but also learning about the culture, customs, and traditions in the U.S.

We strive to bridge the educational gap, and transition students to mainstream classrooms.

I believe education is the great equalizer, even in an urban school such as ours. Giving students the tools they need to succeed can be the difference between them graduating or dropping out.

My Project

My students are all English learners. Drawing pictures, and using hands-on activities are some of the ways that help these students learn and develop their English. Many students cannot afford to purchase school supplies and having it in the class can further support equity. Glue sticks, colored pencils and other art supplies will be used for projects while contact paper will be used to create long-lasting flashcards and posters.

I am excited to bring new materials into my classroom and show students not only how much I care, but how much they are supported by our community.

They all deserve access to a thriving and fun classroom space.
