“I am an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. I help students who are newly arrived to the United States feel comfortable and welcome in our learning environment. It is extremely important to me that my students see our classroom as a place to feel safe so that they are better able to learn and express themselves freely. We work as a class community to transform what once was just a classroom into a home away from home. ”

As an ESL class, we are working on improving the students' language fluency in both writing and reading. These binders will allow each student to maintain a word study personal reader.
