I know it has been like forever since I last wrote on this blog. It has been a busy month of testing all of my ESOL kids for ACCESS, which is the standardized testing required to determine their language proficiency levels. This test, which includes all four domains of language (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) also determines their ESOL levels for next school year. An ESOL student should get a total score of 5 in order to exit ESOL. Otherwise, he/she will continue to receive appropriate instructional and testing accommodations next year.
I am so glad that I am almost done testing all my kids, even with a number of snow days and two-hour delays we have had this Winter season. I love seeing snow, even the feel of it, but I do not like the fact that it has been this bitterly cold that I almost feel like not wanting to go out.
But life goes on for all of us, so let's all keep the energy going to always be ready to learn in school.
I am sure we are all looking forward to Spring and to warmer weather. But for the meantime, stay bundled up!!!
I missed greeting you on Valentine's day, so belated Happy Hearts Day!
Love,
