Tuesday, Jan. 25
One of the things I love about my job is that I have opportunities to get out into the schools and work with kids. I have been working at getting to know the staff in the schools around here and looking for those opportunities. Through Regina, I met the director of the secondary ELL (English Language Learner) program in the local school. As we talked, she shared a need for some help, particularly with the middle schoolers. Today I helped two lovely 8th grade young ladies who have only been in this country just over a year with some American history. Great fun! I am looking forward to helping out with these and other members of this group every Tuesday and Thursday.

That's great, Kathleen! I think those girls are lucky to have you to work with them. :D
ReplyDeleteThought you'd be interested to know that Monica Par's cousin's brother-in-law (how's that for confusing)will be starting at HC next week. According to Monica, he's at the very early stages of learning English. Want to come back and help?
