In this program they offer free after school services to the children that goes to PS 142. They offer after school services to students from kindergarten to 5th grade. In this after school they offer several services to the students. The students in After Three Arts Programs are provided with film classes, music, dance, theatre production, homework, stem lessons, and physical activities. This program is a year around program that is available to students. Over the summer the program is open to any one that would like their children in summer camp. During my visit at After Three Arts Program I was placed in two different classrooms. The first classroom was a kindergarten classroom and the second classroom was a second grade classroom. I really enjoyed my visit at this after school. …show more content…
They were talking to the teacher in Spanish and English therefore, I wanted to double check if they were ELL and they were ELL students. The first SEI strategy that I noticed that the teacher implemented into her lesson was vocabulary and language development. She first started by going over the ABC’s with her students. They sang the ABC’s song and every one was involved. Then after this she read them the book “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” written by Bill Martin and John Archambault. This book was very beneficial to the student because it helps them with their vocabulary development. The story Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is an alphabet book where the alphabets climb up the coconut tree. Reading the students, a book aloud helped all students even the ELL because it helped to provide them with influential context of different word

    It’s hard to tell where to start when it comes to my experience with SEI. As I reflect on this class and my own career there has been real dichotomy of sorts. In the first half of my career I spent in a very culturally diverse community of Stoughton which had a very high ELL population with little no built in supports for teachers. In the second half of my career in East Bridgewater, there is a very low level of ELL’s with much more support. The biggest take away that I have from this course and my time in the classroom, is there are a number of tools available to teach children with a variety of strengths and weaknesses.…

    Impacts of the Adoption of SFAS 142 Goodwill Before SFAS 142 took effect in 2001, goodwill resulted from an acquisition, and it could be amortized for up to 40 years. Since amortization expenses were recorded in the income statement, they affected a company’s earnings. As a result, many companies used the maximum 40 years to minimize the effects of the amortization expenses on the income statements. What is more, management could intentionally inflate the goodwill value in the balance sheet by only taking a few depreciation expenses for each period. Issues arising from the old goodwill treatment could have an adverse effect on shareholders' value, especially those acquisitions driven by managerial ego or other reasons.…

    According to Kelliel Woodson in 7 ESL Modifications to Set Your Students Up for Success, one modification a teacher can do for the ELL students is to give them extended time to work on an assignment. The reason she gives is because with extend time the ELL student can help to lower anxiety of the assignment (Woodson, 2017). According to the article, Best Practice for ELLs: Small-Group Interventions by U.S. Department of Education, an effective way to help ELL students is to work with them in a small group setting. The reason is because the ELL students will not be afraid to try without someone making fun of them (Best Practice for ELLs: Small-Group Interventions,…

    An ELL student is described as a linguistically and culturally diverse student who is learning the English language in addition to his or her native language. In my current fieldwork experience and to the best of my knowledge, there are no ELLs students attending any of the classes that I currently observe. From what I’ve observed, the classes I attend are not highly diversified by ELL’s, those students who are, seem to speak English fluently with no noticeable difficulty. Therefore, I am unable to give any descriptions on learning accommodations as of now on ELL’s. However, there were many lessons that did observe that accommodated different learning styles, that would also help ELL students if they were present in the classroom, such as, visual, auditory and tactile learning accommodations.…

    A few years ago I was asked by my department chair to teach an English Language Development (ELD) class. As I had only been teaching for a year, I was unfamiliar with the full requirements of the class and nervous to take on what I felt was a BIG responsibility. Once I accepted our dean of curriculum asked me to be the ELD advisor. I took two days to decide that with my family background, my grandfather picked fruit for a living and my mom picked and packed growing up, I could make the students understand that working hard in school and continuing their education post high school could help them get more out of life than merely staying at a menial job. My first year was difficult.…

    For the lesson plan modification assignment I chose the standard, LAFS.3.RL.1.3; describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events. My objective is for the student to be able to listen to information about character traits and feelings, and connect them to individuals and events in the story. Students will be able to pull details and events from the read aloud and complete the chart with specific details, characters, and feelings or character traits. Prior to beginning the lesson I would provide each English Language Learner with the modified character trait list. This list provides the students with a cognate from their native language as suggested…

    My cooperating teaching has been very informative this semester with answering questions about ESOL students and how to be an effective educator towards them. In the classroom, she has it set up where there are Spanish books in the library, labels throughout the room, and a special center just for her ELL students to focus on their work. I think that having Spanish books in the classroom is a brilliant idea. ELL students are learning a second language, but that doesn’t mean that we are trying to eliminate their first language. This will show ELL students that educators not only care about their education, but want to involve their first language into the classroom as well.…

    Several strategies for student success are highlighted in this article including opportunities to increase oral communication skills in the classroom and clinical settings, peer mentoring, study groups, and individual tutoring (Hansen & Beaver, 2012, p.247-248).
