My Project

In February, I will be teaching a course on the weekends that will support language acquisition for students who have just arrived to the country.

The goals for this course is help students understand the English alphabet, phonemic awareness, and basic English phrases.

I wish to create a fun environment using games and other manipulatives support their learning.

These students are giving up their time on a Saturday because they feel lost during the school day. The class will be capped, so these students can receive small group attention without fear of being ridiculed by other students.

Ms. Romano New Dorp High School Grades 9-12
