The Description

With these funds you will be sponsoring a group of at least 100 7th grade students to attend a fun and educational experience! The Interactive Theater Company has a play that allows students to connect with the content they are learning in my class. The play will cover a history of Texas through the city of Houston (where we live and go to school) from Native Americans and early settlers through to the effects of Hurricane Ike. It is important for students to make these real life connections with the material they are learning in class to make it permanent in their minds. Students will reinforce this experience through various activities and first person narratives of the time periods covered in the play. It is my goal for each of these students to see the learning in their classroom come to life onstage. It is my hope that it will increase their enthusiasm for the material and in turn create successful life-long learners.

Back Up Plan

If our goal is not met by the deadline, any and all funds collected will go to subsidize the cost of the field learning experience. I strongly believe that our students deserve this experience. If less than $200 is collected and we are unable to continue with the field experience, the funds will be used to buy supplies for the classroom including, various maps of Texas and the United States, replica flags of the six flags that have flown over Texas, Set of Six Flags of Texas and a set of first person narrative books from various times in Texas.

About the Creator

My name is Chantel and this year I have the pleasure of teaching our English Language Learners in a small setting! I am very excited and look forward to the many adventures I will encounter with them. I love my students and I get super excited when they learn, as I know that each day they learn they become more and more successful! Many of my kiddos do not like to read and I have found that many of what they read in class can come off "boring " for them. It is my goal to push literacy in a fun and exciting way to help motivate them to grow. I know that with the support of great community members, like you, our students will not only be successful but will enjoy the journey as well. Thank you!
