First, the good news… I have been granted a new LCD projector for my ESOL classroom, thanks to the donors who made it possible through DonorsChoose.org. This means that there is a lot more we can do in class because of technology.
We also have started to use iPads in our iPad and Computer Center. My 1st and 3rd graders were just happy to practice phonics and sight words using interactive apps. I am waiting for that big day when all of my students will have iPads to use in class.

Here is a list of what we are learning these next two weeks:
First Grade - Story Elements in "Strega Nona" and "Alice Nizzy Nazzy, the Witch of Santa Fe."
- High-frequency words: be, come, good, on, am
Third and Fifth Grade: Connecting with Characters in stories of their own choice
In the next few days, we will also be starting our class blog. Students will have a chance to write their blog at home or in school when they are at the iPad or computer center.
This has been an exciting and meaningful week for me and my wonderful ESOL kids!
Parents: If you want your Kindergartner or First Grader to practice their letter sounds, try this fun, educational game called Puzzle Me Words by clicking on this link.
Have fun!
Love,
