Please read this complete newsletter and discuss it with your host parents. :) It contains information about English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom expectations and procedures. Also there is a supply list, daily schedule, and curriculum information. There is a video I made to show what you need for your ESL binder and how to organize it. You can view it on YouTube at the following link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f39m9zj3U2k
