Teaching ESL means for the first time ever I get to keep my kids from one year to the next! These 7th graders have all the energy and enthusiasm I could ask for, and I've got some ideas to challenge them next year! HAGS, Chargers!

Saying goodbye to these 8th graders was especially hard. I relied on their positivity and leadership as a 1st year ESL teacher. Their dedication to growth and willingness to take risks inspired and challenged me. Best wishes for HS! @LakeHighlandsHS @ForestMeadowJH @RISDMET

As standardized testing season begins, remember: When a 2nd-grade math question is set at a 3rd or 4th grade reading level, the goal is to create a normative distribution among test-takers, instead of actually measuring students' knowledge of 2nd grade math curriculum.

We ended our class before break with a festive craft. I had a whole flock of turkeys in B113. I thought turkeys were a North American bird, but my ESL students knew exactly what they were and sound like??? Gobble gobble everyone!

Putting Halloween candy to work... ESL Ss used 5 senses vocab to describe how their favorite candies look, smell, feel, sound, and, of course, TASTE! Our goal was to use as many English words as possible!
What's your favorite candy?

Mr. Oubre is one of a kind! Whether itβs celebrating students with Nike gift cards for their accomplishments or roaming the halls reminding students of a quiz/test coming up with some Qs to help! We are so thankful for him!ππ΄π #FMJHHonorTheImpact #RISDWeAreOne #RISDBelieves

In ESL, we use simple texts, like The Three Little Pigs, but we support our complex analysis with text evidence! #differentiation #ESLLearning @ForestMeadowJH @RISDMET @RLAinRISD #RISDWeAreOne

Our ESL class loved kicking off reading groups today! Each group had a different spooky story to fit their reading levels and challenge their skills. @ForestMeadowJH @RISDMET #RISDWeAreOne @RLAinRISD
