I teach at a public elementary school outside of Washington, DC. I am a "newcomer ESOL" teacher, meaning I work with students who have recently arrived to the US and don't speak English. My students are mainly refugees, arriving from places such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and Central America. My classroom is a homeroom designed to provide both English and academic instruction for students in grades 1 through 5. Many of them have been through truly horrific events, but they work hard when they arrive in America.
