Treat ELL/English B students as full members of the class. Refer to them often and make it clear to them (and to the class) that you expect them to work and learn just like everyone else. Then ask for more and more participation and work as these students become able to accomplish it.
Back it up!
This is your friendly weekly reminder to back up your computer.
Did you know that, according to a survey done by Apple , “only four percent [of users] back up [their computer] regularly. In a nutshell, this means that if you could snap your fingers and make one Mac user’s main hard drive disappear, there’s a 96 percent chance that you just destroyed files that are completely unrecoverable.”
Don’t know how? Read this or come to the game room during the first half of lunch for help from Ms. Johnson
Don’t have a hard drive? Ms. Cassie in the Apple Store can order one for you

Language Acquisition
Give students as much opportunity as possible to practice using new words. The only way to make sure students understand a new word is to have them produce it themselves either orally or in writing.

The “Notify Homeroom” button can not be removed. Please ignore it. Thanks.
Language Acquisition
Display Key Vocabulary
Once students have been introduced to key vocabulary, display the key vocabulary for that unit with definitions/visuals. This will help them to become familiar with them and will help them to get a better understanding of the concepts being taught.
