Dear Alpha Beta Foundation
My classroom this year was not a typical one. Due to Covid what would have been my classroom was made into a home room. I was told that I would push into classrooms this year. I quickly realized that I would need a cart to bring around regular classroom materials for not just myself but for my students as well. I then made sure to buy folders for each class. As the only language teacher, I wanted to make sure that each classroom had readily available materials for my students. In each classroom I left two folders, absent work, and extra copies.
As an extension activity I am in the process of planning students to engage in writing to students in another country. I am trying to get in contact with a class from Central America have a pen pal class. This would be done with a revolving effect; the 3rd grade level classes would take a turn writing letters. In total I have 6 classes, 7th and 8th grade. The stipend would assist with the cost of postage as well as other letter writing necessities.
I was able to purchase binders/folders for each class; a cart to transport my supplies; worksheets/handouts, paper, loose leaf, pencils, sharpeners, markets, etc. I was also able to purchase student Spanish and English dictionaries
Thank you, Alpha Beta Foundation, for all your help.
