My ESL Pre-kindergarten students come to me with oral language deficits. The students are sponges for the English language. Most of their parents are emergent English speakers also. The students come from low socio-economic households. It is important that when they enter my classroom that I am teaching the whole child. There is a culture of equity, social and cultural awareness, and academic success. Writing plays an intricate part in creating oral responsive language. I want to create "independent thinking scholars". I do this by embracing their challenges and scaffolding them to success. In doing so, many times the parents are becoming my adult learners.
