While we are all working off our #turkeyhangover checkout our fundraiser to help put books in the hands of children in need. Our students including, Nadal, Derek and Sonya, all helped write and illustrate our book, Raymonda. Check it out https://t.co/TFlM50YDbG #thanksgivingweek
"That experience was really good because we need think about thing that we don't know."-Sonya, on writing for our project. How many kids do you know who really appreciate their own #education. #immigrant#students do. Because of how much harder they have to work to get it.
"Is good to talk about the history because we can decide something good or bad."-Derek. We take for granted how important it is for our students to play a part in their own education, and how much it empowers them. This especially important during the #holidays#thanksgiving
"I feel good and confused because not is the same think listen or write are different but is good because you learning more."-Nadal It's hard learning a new language and being in a new country, especially during the holidays #Thanksgivingweek#immigrant#thanksgiving#newhome
"Is hard for me because I don't like ride history."-Sonya #writes about the difficulty of writing a #story. Some days are good with our kids and some are #challenging. Some days they like writing and some days they don't. When you are #learning, there's always work to be done.
"I happy because I learned more words."-Nadal. We take for granted being able to speak #English. It means the world to these kids that they have the opportunity to learn our #language. Something we should all be reminded of. #immigrant#dreams#read#write#ballet#dance#goals
As our project continues, the students are starting to show confidence and more interest in their work. And a better understanding of what they are working on. For more info on their amazing work check out https://t.co/j11mzHbVFb #read#write#ballet#stories#monday#learning
