Thing #1

I am very excited to be going on this online journey. I hope to learn some things that can help my ESL students learn to read and write better. Setting up my blog was pretty easy. I tend to get ahead of myself and have to go back and reread instructions. I am sure this will be a journey in patience as well as learning. I hope to learn enough in this class to stay up with the teenagers of our society.

As a teacher with 20 years experience I am commited to being a life long learner. Last year I switched from teaching music at the elementary then secondary level to teaching English. I was offered an ESL position so last summer I got my ESL certification. I absolutely love teaching middle schoolers but I really wanted to teach reading. This coming year I will be teaching ESL Reading. I am thrilled! I accept responsibility for my learning and face problems as challenges. This summer I am doing the Rosetta Stone spanish course so that I can better communicate with my beginning english speakers.
