        SUBJECT:      English Language Learning (ELL) Students

        What is the ELL class?

        This is a class during Period 7 for students whose home language is not English. For 20 minutes, I help them to practice using the textbook

        English in Action. Then at 2:15, we work on content-area homework (like a resource time). During this time, I can assist students with class

        assignments or to finish tests. You are welcome to put things in my mailbox--we will finish them, and then I will return them to your box.

        LAS Links Results

        This is a test to determine the student’s proficiency in English. I have attached the most recent results, and will test the students again in

        January 2009.
