Our ESOL classes began a few weeks ago, and it was so good to see all of the children and hear about their summer adventures. We are getting into a routine and they are working hard.
In all of the classes, we are reviewing letter sounds and learning the rules of phonics. Knowing the rules will help the students decipher unknown words as they read more complex texts.
Grade 1: We are discussing the items we use in school and the activities we do in our classrooms. The students toured the building, took pictures of important areas, and added captions to the pictures. We put the pages together in a book to help new students find their way around our large building.
Grade 2: We are learning more about families and the things we do together. They began by writing about what their family likes to do for fun. It sounds like you all have some great family time!
Grade 3: We are learning about the countries our families are from, how they are similar and how they are different. We are also learning about countries and continents and how to read a map.
It is a privilege to work with your children, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
