Welcome to My ESL Classroom Web Page

                                   Welcome! ยินดีต้อนรับ! Bienvenido! 欢迎! Bienvenue!

 Welcome to the English As A Secondary Language Program (ESL).

I am looking forward to an amazing 2021-2022 school year! 

As you probably know by now, at this time all students will attend school in person.

Please keep checking my website for important updates and assignments related to the ESL program during the 2021 - 2022 school year.

My daily class is set up in CANVAS under the title 2021 DALABAN ENGLISH As a Secondary Language.

*Teacher's Note: it is awesome to be able to meet my students in person in August, but if anything changes/just in case we will be asked to teach remotely at any time during the 2021-2022 school year, this is what the ELL students need to do:

on my  HOME PAGE in Canvas English As a Secondary Language - Dalaban, students will see three different links to click on depending on their school, grade, and schedule:

NOTE: in case we will need to teach LIVE lessons at any point in time this new school year, or to be in direct contact with me, the ELL  students need to use Microsoft Teams according to their given schedule.

My A.M. schedule at Harris Road Middle School is 8:35 -11:35 A.M.

My P.M. schedule at NWCMS is in the afternoon/ P.M.

*I will update my schedule weekly or as new changes/enrollments occur, whatever comes first.

My P.M. schedule at NWCMS with the ELL students at this time is :

5th period/ 1:27 -2:26 PM Grade 7

7th period/ 3:01 -4:00 PM Grade 6 and Grade 8

If we will need to use  Microsoft Teams at any time during the school year, the ELL STUDENTS should look for and join: 

Dalaban ESL Grade 6 and Grade 8 (NWCMS)

Dalaban ESL  Grade 7 (NWCMS).

and 

Dalaban ESL Grade 6-7-8 HARRIS ROAD MIDDLE SCHOOL ONLY.

*PARENTS: if at any time we will be asked to teach remotely or in an emergency/absence situation - please encourage the students to use the RAZ KIDS program we will be also using in the class, just to keep up with learning for the ESL class.

All students will be instructed on how to use the program, and they will all have the basic directions on how to log in and use the program. Please e-mail me if you are having trouble logging into the RAZ KIDS program. 

ALL ELL STUDENTS who see me for the ESL class every day:

use RAZ KIDS LEVELED BOOKS for 15 to 30 minutes daily for ESL during the period when we are online learning.

**The research-based RAZ KIDS program is a highly efficient reading language program that allows students to LISTEN to both fiction and nonfiction books being READ ALOUD to the students, and then they can  RECORD themselves by reading aloud (and I can check the recording for fluency and pronunciation); additionally, students have to pass a COMPREHENSION QUIZ, and finally, they can CREATE a PIECE of WRITING by answering questions based on the book.

*The writing part can be sent to me via e-mail (take a picture of it and attach it to my e-mail)/ *this is optional.

 We will also work on the correct usage of English grammar, with plenty of practice exercises for each topic.

All language skills will be covered daily:

Listening - as students listen for directions 

Reading - all students will be given the chance of reading to the teacher                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Speaking - all students will take turns speaking on different topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Writing - all students will be given a written  part for each topic 

I can send messages in the Chat provided by the program, I check, send rewards, and ...grade all student's work.
