My Project

Please help my students and their parents by funding a Pocket Talk translation device. Many of my students and their parents speak another language besides English (such as Mandarin Chinese or Spanish). Unfortunately, I mainly understand English so communication can be very difficult at times. I am really looking forward to a new school year and building a strong home-school relationship.

I am hoping to get a translation device funded so that I can communicate with my students and their parents to build a stronger relationship.

Many times, the parents want to speak to me about their child's progress in school or ask me questions so having a translation device would help greatly. Also, my colleagues can use this translation device if needed.
