I have more than 70 inquisitive and motivated ESL students in grades 3-5. Their success in school and the community is something that I support in every way. The looks on their faces when they have set and met a goal drive me to continue forward with the work. I work in a high needs school with over 99% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch in a time when so often students living in poverty are overlooked. Because of this, often they are sadly not provided with the equal education they deserve. With ESL students, the situation is often made worse as a language barrier can hide their true learning potential! If they struggle with the language, how can they effectively communicate what they know? My students are eager to learn and enter my room every day with a sense of hope and leave with a sense of pride it what they have accomplished. They love to learn and I LOVE to teach them.
