I am a new teacher. I survived loved my first year in the classroom. I said goodbye to my sweet kinders last week, but I already feel like there are a million things to do to prepare for the upcoming school year. Starting August 2, I will have 16 wonderful English Language Learners (ELLs) in my 1st/2nd grade classroom. I will have the joy of teaching little ones who represent cultures from all over the world.
Thus, Everyone Smiles in the Same Language is born.
