Students will bring their books or work from class, or just themselves and a smile.  I'll have notebooks and pencils in my class for them.

In English as a New Language Class, I will be working closely with the classroom teachers to assess each student's ability and give them tasks that they will be able to perform with the aim to bring them closer to performing tasks on grade level.  In the smaller ENL setting, they will be able to speak, listen, read and write with more attention than they normally have in the larger classroom.  I will collaborate with the classroom teachers to make sure I am addressing the same or similiar tasks to those they are working on in their classes, ie reading the same story, going over the same vocabulary or doing a similar written assignment.
