Teaching in an urban middle school with lots of ELL's can be challenging and rewarding at the same time. A lot of my students are great kids, but are lacking basic supplies, or have a language barrier, or both. In addition, my students are transferring from being with one class all day in elementary school to becoming much more independent and accountable for themselves entering middle school which is a big adjustment for most of my students so I must find ways to help them feel safe, comfortable, and set up for success.
