Thanks for the great suggestions Bill. I honestly do not think the beginning ESOL learners should be in my classroom, generally they are not. But, I never turn away a kid. That is why I teach 6 classes and have over 180 students. I want to reach these kids and give them a good beginning. Our ESOL dept is closed right now because they are busy with mandatory testing. That does not help me in the slightest. Thankfully, I have another student in each class that speaks their language, so one of them half understands and can translate. I am sure I will learn as much as they do this year. :) My other students are entranced with the new cultures entering our classroom. It should be quite a year. :) *\l/**\l/**\l/*Lynn*\l/**\l/**\l/* M.Ed. Reading Education
