We will be using a variety of effective English language acquisition techniques this year including embedded grammar study, comprehension strategies, and Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP). For my class your student will need:
● pencils
● notebook paper
● one inexpensive 3 ring binder (1 or 2 inch)- for class work portfolio (The binder is for ESL class only. It stays in the ESL classroom)
