About Myself                         
This is my second year here at Willow Bend and I enjoy the students and staff very much. I am an English as a Second Language(ESL) teacher. I help students who come from different countries learn how our school works and how to improve their English literacy. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at the above phone number or email address.

Curriculum
Willow Bend is using brand new materials to help all the ESL students. Our current series in called Into English! by Hampton-Brown and Scotts Foresman ESL Accelerating English Language Learning series 4-6. All curriculum used and created supports the themes and learning of the classroom teachers.

ESL Goals
My goal is to help and support the students and classroom teachers whenever and wherever I can. All ESL students can make their accelerated reader goals! Please ask for help when you need it. That is what I am here for.

New Information
My room was changed this year. I am in room 139 and my new phone number is 847-963-7334. If you have any questions, please give me a call!

Homework
Occasionally the students will have homework from me. All homework will be practice from our daily lessons.
