Although most of my students speak Spanish at home, I have a few that speak Chinese, Bengali, Krio, and Ibo. They bring to the classroom the richness of their language and culture, which is what makes my teaching really interesting. A few of them have just arrived from their home countries so they do not speak any English at all. Their period of adjustment and assimilation comes at different phases, and it really takes a concerted effort to let them learn the language. We are a Title 1 targeted school with a diverse student and staff population. Almost all of my ESOL students qualify for free and reduced meals.
