Sorry, I missed ESOL in the newsletter

ESOL

In ESOL during April, students will be asking and answering questions about animals, including “What covering does it have?”  “Where does it live?” and “How does it move?”  We will be reading non-fiction texts about animals.  Toward the end of the month, we will introduce vocabulary related to transportation and travel.

April Happenings
