Good Afternoon!
We are having more and more Latinos moving into our area. They are considered ESL
by our district. Two that have moved in are 18 and were enrolled as freshmen. They
have a very limited understanding of our English. They seem to be nice kids who
want to learn and are trying. One has been absent too much and because of our
policy, he now has a Friday School (3:00 - 6:00). Students with Friday School are
supposed to do homework and then read. These students usually have help
understanding the homework as it's in English. Some teachers thought they could
just do Math there, but if they don't understand what the questions are asking, how
exactly are they to do that? I digress. I feel I should get some books written in
Spanish in our library. My question is: what do I get?
Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
